Danae
Inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Danaë, this figurative painting brings together two timeless figures—Danaë and Rapunzel. Danaë was imprisoned in a windowless tower until Zeus descended down to her in the form of golden rain, paralleling the later tale of Rapunzel, another young woman isolated in a tower. Both heroines show us that even in the face of confinement, there is always the possibility of breaking free and claiming one’s destiny. This evocative piece captures both stories’ themes of love and fate, inviting viewers to explore the strength and beauty of these timeless heroines. You can read more about the story of Danae on the blog.
