Hades
Oil On Watercolor Paper
2023

A portrait exploring dominance and stillness. The figure
emerges from fire without flinching, untouched by the chaos that surrounds him — reflecting the myth's tension between destruction and control, fear and cold indifference.

This piece contrasts the searing rage and fear of the world with the unforgiving calm that takes place at the center of it. This represents the quiet, cold machinery of power— those who rule are insulated from the heat they create in their wake.

Bold, clashing color makes the tension of this piece impossible to look away from.
