Nike of Samothraceby ~PaintMyWorldRainbow

Traditional Art / Paintings / Psychedelic

This is my rendition of the Nike of Samothrace, a classical Greek statue, one of the most beautiful in the world. It was created to not only honor the goddess, Nike, but to portray artful flowing drapery through its features, which the Greeks considered ideal beauty.

I just finished AP Art History so I wanted to make a reference of some sort to the classical past, in my own way. Of course, I chose to make it a bit psychedelic. A gift for the fabulous teacher who taught that class.

Watercolor on Aquarelle paper.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
