Characters from mythology have a way of embedding themselves into cultures and they become a reality when matched with actual places and elements of nature
The Mermaid is such a figure. She is synonymous with sea faring people, the waters and the surrounding land. Greece and her islands have a close connection to this mysterious feminine creature. The threat in Odysseus’s Sirens is not reflected in this icon. In my version she is more a friend who guides you to learn the secrets of the sea.
I painted her thinking of the times I spent at the Aegean and Ionian Sea, the islands and all that is magical there. The surface of the sea glistening under the sun at certain times of the day, aqua waters and the world beneath: abundant and full of vibrant sea-life are condensed into this icon of a Mermaid; a figure not far from the imagination when surrounded by such beauty.
The original painting was matched with an ornate gold frame to further and added blue strokes of paint to enhance the striking iconographic style of the work.
This print is an A4 size and has strokes of gold paint around the edges, enhancing it’s ornate and byzantine inspired style. The hand painted elements I have added to the print make it a unique piece.
