Mim's Art - Exposed - "CASSANDRA"


24”x30” – Acrylic on Gallery Style Framed Canvas

Meaning: Prophetess of Doom. In Greek myth Cassandra was a Trojan princess, the daughter of Priam and Hecuba. She was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but when she spurned his advances he cursed her so nobody would believe her prophecies

Inspiration: For this piece Mim was inspired by the mysterious depths of an insightful friend with wild hair and a fascination with the unrelenting sea.

Concealed Images: A beautiful mermaid torments over an ancient world, now reclaimed by blue depths. Amongst the bubbles, schools of fish can be seen swimming through a dilapidated archway overhanging an ornate door. A pillar with a Templar Knight sinks slowly into the ground, surrounded by squids, jellyfish, sea horses, and batfish.
