The Gift

The Gift

The Gift was created in cooperation with children’s book author Mrs Yota Kotsauti at Ένα κείμενο, μία εικόνα to illustrate the story of the Greek gods Athena and Poseidon and the gift each of them gave to the Athenians competing for the city’s favor. It was a super opportunity for me as I’ve long wanted to try my hand -and imagination- at illustrating a story and in particular a subject which I love, Greek mythology!

‘The Gift’, a mixed media artwork on wood with pyrography detailing is, to date, my most ambitious.

Although the original text is in Greek I have translated it here:
