About this artwork
In the Greek myth, Minos attacked Athens after his son was killed there. The Athenians asked for terms and were required to sacrifice 7 young men and 7 maidens to the Minotaur every 7 or 9 years. One year, the sacrificial party included Theseus, the son of King Aegeus, who volunteered to kill the Minotaur. Ariadne fell in love with him at first sight and provided him a sword and ball of thread so that he could retrace his way out of the labyrinth…
of the Minotaur.

« I aspire to paint a profound moment, a glimpse into the tragic or sublime human experience that transcends culture, religion and time itself. »
As a child growing up in a small city in the United States, American artist Eric Armusik found artistic solace and inspiration in the paintings hanging in the Gothic church he attended. This inspired his exquisitely detailed portrait series, depicting mythological and religious figures. He works primarily with the medium of oil paint and charcoal, choosing to paint directly on wood, masonite and AlumaCorp in the style of Old Masters such as Caravaggio.
