Description

Vibrant colors and geometric shapes dominate the composition, creating an abstract scene that's lively and engaging. Streaks of black, white, and yellow suggest movement against the static blocks of color, with a semi-circular orange form anchoring the lower portion of the piece.


"The all-seeing, all-hearing Helios (the Sun)."

Homer, Odyssey 11. 102 ff (trans. Shewring) (Greek epic C8th B.C.)


In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Helios (/ˈhiːliəs, -ɒs/; Ancient Greek: Ἥλιος pronounced [hɛ̌ːlios], lit. 'Sun'; Homeric Greek: Ἠέλιος) is the god who personifies the Sun. His name is also Latinized as Helius, and he is often given the epithets Hyperion ("the one above") and Phaethon ("the shining").
