Description Circe the enchantress from the Odyssey by Homer:

“…and came to the Aeaean island, where Circe lives—a great and cunning goddess who is own sister to the magician Aeetes—for they are both children of the sun by Perse, who is daughter to Oceanus.”

... "When they reached Circe's house they found it built of cut stones, on a site that could be seen from far, in the middle of the forest. There were wild mountain wolves and lions prowling all round it—poor bewitched creatures whom she had tamed by her enchantments and drugged into subjection. They did not attack my men, but wagged their great tails, fawned upon them, and rubbed their noses lovingly against them."


Homer described her as the The loveliest of all immortals… but she was the sorceress who transformed Ulysses comrades in animals

Your paintings always have that peculiar yet interesting negative spaces. It has great details in the positive spaces, and the negative space provided a chance to rest my eyes, a nice balancing act for the crowded opposite. It's like watching the scenes unfold from behind a window.

Very beautiful and inspiring work here, ~Galhad !

Interessante, specialmente la veste della donna che sembra "strappata" dal cielo notturno.

Critica:
L'artista si esprime tutto sul suo mistero e storia, quasi surrealista.

Prego.
Per me il panneggio sulle vesti, non mi stufano... anzi, mi divertono!
