Colossus of Rhodes

A young figure stands between rocky shores like a dreamlike guardian of the sea, echoing the ancient legend of the Colossus of Rhodes. Holding symbolic bird forms aloft, she becomes a bridge between the earthly and the mythical, while ships and serpentine creatures animate the waters below. The composition reimagines a classical wonder through a personal symbolic language, blending innocence, power, and imagination into a surreal maritime vision. Oil on canvas, 90 × 70 cm, 2026.
