About The Artwork
Iphigenia was a daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra . The Achaean (Greek) fleet was preparing to go to war against Troy and had amassed in Aulis. While there, Agamemnon, the leader of the expedition, killed a deer in a grove sacred to the goddess Artemis. She punished him by interfering with the winds (either by becalming them or by blowing the ships back into port) so that his fleet could not sail toTroy. The seer Calchas revealed that in order to appease Artemis, Agamemnon must sacrifice his eldest daughter, Iphigenia. Agamemnon at first refused, but, under pressure from the other commanders eventually agreed.Iphigenia and her mother Clytemnestra were brought to Aulis under the pretext of a marriage to Achilles, but soon discovered that the marriage was a ruse. Iphigenia was taken by Artemis to Tauris in Crimea on the moment of the sacrifice, and that the goddess left a deer or a goat (the god Pan transformed) in her place. sakifinearts.com

My name is Metin . I have been involved in painting for 32 years, 19 years as professional. I have been drawing in Greek mythology for the last twelve years because I have been keen on Greek mythology. Each of my painting has a story. With working 12-15 hours a day, it takes approximately one and a half or two months to complete a drawing. When the artist creates a work of art, technical skills, an original idea, experience, knowledge, work are used.
