Peacock - Eternal Tale
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 100X100CM
In “Eternal Tale,” the artist captures the mesmerizing moment of mythological transformation bestowed by Hera, the Greek goddess. The painting depicts the creation of the peacock’s tail, a divine act by Hera to honor her loyal servant, Argus. After Argus’s demise, Hera, in her reverence and gratitude for his service, immortalized his hundred vigilant eyes in the tail of her favored bird, the peacock.
This canvas art presents the peacock in full, vivid colors, symbolizing the vitality and regal presence of the bird, often associated with nobility and the divine. In stark contrast, the peacock’s tail is rendered in black and white, with each feather culminating in an eye. These eyes, all in silhouette, are a striking tribute to Argus – each looking in a different direction, symbolizing his role as the ever-watchful guardian.
This contrast not only brings a striking visual appeal but also deepens the symbolic resonance of the painting. The vibrant body of the peacock against the monochrome eyes on its tail weaves a narrative of life’s vibrancy intersecting with eternal watchfulness, echoing the balance between beauty and duty.
