About the Item
"Centaur and Nymph". Part of "NeoMythology" series. Original work on colored paper.
Size is 27.5x19.5in / 70x50cm . Shipped rolled in a tube. Comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. See all 3 works from the same series: 1. Centaur and Nymph. 2. Hercules and Deianira 3.Satyr and Nymph.
These three drawings from the Neo Mythology series exhibit a dynamic fusion of classical themes with expressive, contemporary mark-making. The artist employs sepia ink on blue-gray paper, a combination that evokes the aged, timeworn quality of ancient frescoes or aged manuscripts. The use of loose, gestural lines and washes of ink adds movement, depth, and emotional intensity, while the selective use of blue hints at a subtle yet purposeful color contrast.
"Centaur and Nymph"
This composition captures an intense interaction between a centaur and a nymph. The centaur's posture—one arm raised behind his head and the other gripping the nymph—conveys a sense of struggle, seduction, or possibly abduction. The nymph’s body, partially draped in flowing fabric, contrasts against the muscular form of the centaur. The expressive, sketch-like quality of the ink application lends the scene a raw, almost chaotic energy, enhancing the mythological tension. The centaur’s head, tilted downward with a furrowed brow, adds an emotional depth—perhaps conflict or desire. The background is minimal, reinforcing the sense that the figures exist in a timeless, mythic space.
These three works together form a compelling exploration of mythological themes, specifically focusing on the tension between the human and the bestial, love and power, fate and free will. Each drawing references classical mythology but reinterprets it with expressive, gestural strokes that add psychological depth and movement.
This Neo Mythology series masterfully reinterprets classical themes through contemporary, expressive inkwork. The artist captures the essence of myth—its timeless emotions, conflicts, and passions—while infusing it with the raw energy of modern artistic expression. Each piece stands strong on its own, but together, they form a dynamic triptych of mythology reimagined through motion, emotion, and a deep understanding of historical artistic traditions.
