"Daphne" Limited Edition 16 Print

Linocut, limited Edition 16 * I have been doing printmaking since 1971. High (Relief) prints (linocut) is my preference. I am working in my own workshop. ** I have great admiration for Anatolian myths. This is one of them. An Anatolian legend Apollo, the God of Light, son of Zeus, sees a young and beautiful girl by the river. The name of this unique beauty is Daphne (Defne). Apollo wants to talk to him. But Defne begins to run away from the God of Light. He runs away, Apollo chases him and shouts, "Don't run away, I love you." Daphne gets scared and continues to run away. As for Apollo, he definitely wants to capture this beautiful fairy. The distance between them becomes shorter and shorter, and there comes a moment when Daphne hears Apollo's breath in her hair. Realizing that there is no possibility of salvation anymore, Daphne stops suddenly and scrapes the ground with her foot and shouts: "O mother earth, cover me, hide me, protect me." Upon this sincere plea, Daphne her organs become heavy and wooden. A gray shell covers his chest, his scented hair turns into leaves, his arms grow into branches, his young feet become roots and dive deep into the ground, becoming a laurel tree. *** Please expect it to take up to 7 working days, from the date of purchase, for the print to be collected from the artist and ready for shipping to the buyer.
