Styx Painting

This is an abstract oil painting on canvas. Quality oil paints and oil pastels have been used. My paintings represent emanation of unseen but very much felt by all of us: metaphysical portraits, landscapes or acts. Because of that during the creation process I don’t plan, I just paint them letting the emotions rule. In Greek mythology, Styx is a deity and a river that forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld (the domain often called Hades, which also is the name of its ruler). The rivers Styx, Phlegethon, Acheron, Lethe, and Cocytus all converge at the center of the underworld on a great marsh, which sometimes is also called the Styx. According to Herodotus, the river Styx originates near Feneos. Styx is also a goddess with prehistoric roots in Greek mythology as a daughter of Tethys, after whom the river is named and because of whom it had miraculous powers. It is ready to hang.
