Prince, Bull, Prisoner

Artist Statement: This piece is meant to explore three aspects of the Minotaur, Prince Asterion, The Bull of Crete, and the Imprisoned Minotaur. Each figure of the Minotaur represents both an identity and a possible outcome of his future. Life in royal luxury, death at the hands of a hero, or slowly drowning in sorrow as he is trapped in the labyrinth. The piece is made with oil paints over acrylic, and contains a pallete of ocher and blue.
