About The Artwork

This painting belongs to a series that reimagines the figure of the monster in classical mythology — the archetypal Other, condemned as the adversary to be vanquished by the righteous male hero. Within this lens, such beings emerge not merely as villains, but as some of the earliest martyrs to patriarchal violence and to humanity’s enduring impulse to subdue the so-called “natural” world.
