Daedalus

If he did not exist it would be necessary to invent him. — Voltaire

My latest illustration, the mythic Daedalus. The greatest craftsman in Greek mythology, he is most well known as the father of Icarus and as the creator of the Labyrinth, a huge maze located under the court of King Minos of Crete, where the Minotaur, a half-man half-bull creature dwelt. I have depicted him as the creative spirit that breaks free from the labyrinth of the mind, to me a kind of muse. Extra marks to any who can spot all the mythical elements. Enjoy!

Main music while painting: Muse — Undisclosed Desires
