Artwork Description

more information

This painted decorative wall mirror beautifully captures the full profile of King Midas, the legendary figure from Greek mythology. The mirror, in blue shades, represents his head or mind, reflecting both his desires and inner turmoil.

Two hands are raised on either side of his face, as if Midas is praying to the gods, perhaps seeking divine intervention or relief from the consequences of his fateful wish for the golden touch.

The hands, intricately painted, symbolize Midas’s plea for redemption and his connection to the divine forces that shaped his destiny. The blue tones of the mirror evoke a calm and contemplative atmosphere, contrasting with the chaos that followed Midas’s insatiable greed.

Inspired by Greek mythology, this piece explores the dichotomy between material wealth and spiritual longing. The mirror invites viewers to reflect on Midas’s inner world, his regrets, desires, and the lessons of his story, where the pursuit of wealth ultimately leads to loss and sorrow.
