Romance of Eastern Pompeii

[EN]“Romance of Eastern Pompeii” In this work, I reinterpret the myth of Leda and the swan by merging elements from various cultures and historical periods, with a particular focus on the importance of the swan in Asian culture.

The central scene of the painting presents Leda, the queen of Sparta, enveloped in an atmosphere of beauty while the swan, a symbol of grace and purity, perches upon her.

The tones of Pompeian frescoes, such as crimson red, ochre yellow, and indigo blue, evoke opulence and sophistication.

In the context of Japanese and Chinese mythology, the swan is revered as a symbol of longevity, happiness, and good fortune. Cherry blossom petals fall around the scene, highlighting the connection between the swan and nature in Asian culture.

 

[ES]“Romance de Pompeya Oriental” En esta obra, reinterpreto el mito de Leda y el cisne fusionando elementos de diversas culturas y períodos históricos, con un enfoque particular en la importancia del cisne en la cultura asiática.

La escena central del cuadro presenta a Leda, la reina de Esparta, envuelta en una atmósfera belleza mientras el cisne, símbolo de gracia y pureza, se posa sobre ella.

Los tonos de los frescos pompeyanos, como el rojo carmesí, el amarillo ocre y el azul añil, evocan opulencia y sofisticación.

En el contexto de la mitología japonesa y china, el cisne es reverenciado como un símbolo de longevidad, felicidad y buena fortuna. Pétalos de cerezos en flor caen alrededor de la escena, recordando la conexión entre cisne y naturaleza en la cultura asiática.
