Michal Zaborowski - Icarus
Description
The figure of the mythical Icarus symbolizes ambition and striving to achieve goals. The painting can also be about man's inability to achieve the absolute and the need to accept his limits. Zaborowski's "Icarus" shows a figure in profile, with feathers and a flame in the background, symbolizing his wings and the sun. The image is made in an abstract way, using monochromatic gray and contrasting black. This famous motif originally appeared in Greek vase paintings and Pompeian frescoes. Now in a modern version, it will be perfect for lovers of classic interiors.
The inkography "Icarus" by Michał Zaborowski was created in a closed edition limited to 50 copies.
