Athena’s Owl

Athena’s Owl

The Owl was a commissioned artwork for an Airbnb located in the centre of Athens. I was thrilled to receive this commission and amazed at the synchronicity of its subject matter as I had recently been sketching and exploring the idea of creating an artwork with an owl!

The only real challenge for me in this commission was in keeping to the specific colour palette made up predominantly of neutrals -not my usual colour palette- as per my client’s specifications which pertained to the brand and their colour palette. The theme of this particular Airbnb is the Owl of Athena, which of course inspired the ancient greek elements in my design. Although my artwork is usually more colourful, my client wanted it to be in a predominantly neutral palette following the brand’s colours. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed creating this owl and was super pleased with the result, as I believe my client was too!

Specifications:
  • materials: etched on prepped wood panel, painted with acrylics and vinyl emulsion matte paints
