About The Artwork
In Greco-Roman mythology, Hecate is the goddess of magic, crossroads, and ghosts, and is associated with the night and the moon. She is a protector of the home and one who guides the souls of the deceased. In the painting, each element symbolizes different aspects of Hecate’s mythology and the broader themes she represents: Moon: The moon is a well-known symbol associated with Hecate, reflecting the cycles of life and death, a domain she governs. It also represents guidance, mystery, and the subconscious. Lake: Lakes are realms of mystery and the supernatural, representing Hecate’s domain over magic and the transition between life and death. Starry Sky: Stars in mythology associated with guidance, fate, and the divine. They represent the spirits of gods, heroes, or other mythical beings watching over and influencing mortal lives. Red Flowers: Red flowers symbolize strong emotions such as love, desire, and passion. They also represent life, courage, bravery, and fertility. Dark Mountains: Mountains are symbolic of challenges, strength, and the spiritual journey. They are considered sacred and are believed to be the dwelling place of gods or spirits. As for Hecate’s mysterious smile, her smile hints at the hidden knowledge and secrets of the mystical realms she presides over, reflecting the duality of her nature as both a nurturing protector and a guide to the afterlife. The smile invites contemplation and suggests that there is more to her—and to existence—than meets the eye, much like the enigmatic nature of the moon and the night sky she is associated with.
