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 to her in the form of golden rain, paralleling the later tale of Rapunzel, another young woman isolated in a tower. This evocative piece captures both stories’ themes of captivity and fate, inviting viewers to explore the strength and beauty of these timeless heroines.
