About The Artwork

The painting represents the awakening of Nyx, the goddess of night, from her eternal slumber at the beginning of time, at the dawn of creation. She rises from the dark abyss, where she slept for eons. Her eyes are still closed, which protects her from the gaze of the curious and the unworthy. Her arms are lifted in a gesture of power and grace. She is lying on a cloak of silk, which flows like a river of moonlight around her body. The cloak reflects her beauty and majesty, as well as her mystery and secrecy. The painting captures the essence of Nyx, as a divine being who is both feared and revered, loved and hated, admired and envied. She is the mother of night, the queen of dreams, the mistress of fate. She is the awakening of Nyx.
