Hades

“Hades,” is a representation of my interpretation of the mythical underworld, a place first mentioned in ancient literature.

I’ve used a dark and intense palette, dominated by deep reds and blacks, to evoke the ominous and foreboding atmosphere of the underworld. The layers of paint, applied in textured strokes, are meant to symbolize the depth and complexity of this mythological place, where souls are said to reside after death. The interplay of shadow and subtle light hints at the presence of hidden mysteries and untold stories within the darkness.

Through this piece, I aim to convey the power and mystique of Hades, a place that has fascinated humanity for centuries. It is not just a depiction of a mythical location but a reflection of the human fascination with the unknown and the afterlife. This painting invites viewers to explore the boundaries between reality and myth, and to contemplate the enduring power of these ancient stories.
