Persephone | The Lotus Queen
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 170X100CM
“Persephone: The Lotus Queen” presents a vivid interpretation of the Greek goddess, portraying the dualities of life and afterlife, and the eternal cycle of nature’s bloom and decay. Rendered in the artist’s distinctive style of dynamic patterns and vibrant colors, the artwork captures Persephone’s essence through symbolic elements that speak to her role as the goddess of spring and renewal.
The focal point is Persephone’s upper body, artfully crafted from lotus petals, symbolizing purity, rebirth, and spiritual awakening. Adorned with intricate patterns and vivid hues, the lotus encapsulates her divine connection to nature. Her flowing hair symbolizes the river of time, seamlessly connecting the earthly and the divine.
Transitioning from the floral depiction, her lower body transforms into a cornucopia, nestled in lush vegetation. This portrayal not only underscores her identity as the deity of grain and growth but also symbolizes the Earth’s fertility over which she presides.
In her right hand, delicately poised, Persephone holds a pomegranate – a powerful symbol in Greek mythology, representing the cyclical passage between worlds. Under her left arm, a discreetly placed clock symbolizes the duality of time she embodies, ruling half the year above with the living and the other half below as the queen of the dead. These subtle yet powerful inclusions serve as a reminder of her tale of abduction, love, and the cyclical passage between worlds.
“Persephone: The Lotus Queen” is not just a portrayal but a concise, symbolic narrative that delves into the heart of the goddess’ story. It invites viewers to explore the intricate layers of Persephone’s dual existence and to reflect on the perpetual cycle of life, death, and rebirth that she represents.
