Part of The Icons, an exclusive selection of rare, highly coveted works. I portrayed Zeus nude to create a contradiction: a divinity meant to be worshipped becomes, through the exposure of his body, the object of our gaze. His nudity shifts the balance between the observer and the worshipped, for a moment, the god becomes the one exposed. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed and dated by the artist.
