Original artwork description:
“The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.” Lucian Freud.
Some time ago I read the Thai edition of Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova which was fascinating and thought it would be a great idea for my Goddess collection. Since then I have painted a lot of Goddesses and they are hanging on walls around the world.
Here the Goddess is dreaming of her lover, Zeus the most powerful of the Greek gods, he comes to her in the form of a swan. I wanted the painting to appear as a dream as if you were looking at someone having a dream and to wonder what is happening, is that really a swan coming to take her or is it all just a dream.
