"Defeated Nike" was created for Robert Morgan's Dysfunctional Mythology exhibition. It was more minimalistic and dramatic comparing to his other pieces, opening the door to a different period of creativity for him. The inspiration was Nike - the Winged Goddess of Victory. A goddess whose life revolved around winning at all cost. Unfortunately there are things in life we cannot control like love, winning in love is not up to one player. In this situation, Nike lost not only emotionally but also physically, she lost her wings as well as her heart. The additional drama was added by dressing her in Alexander McQueen dress (originally made of ostrich feathers dyed in red and black symbolising blood and death)

Lapinus's unique approach to the human form has made a huge impact on art lovers across Britain. By fusing an aesthetic of stained glass and detailed coloured pencil drawing, he encourages us to look at people with new eyes, and offers a contemporary take on portraiture. Lapinus was born and raised in Krakow, Poland. Although he never received any artistic education, his passion for art has been a central theme throughout his life. He moved to London at the age of 20 and slowly started developing his hobby into something more meaningful. With encouragement of artist Patrick Hughes, he started working on his first exhibition inspired by Greek mythology. His intimate solo exhibition called "Retrospective of Dysfunctional Mythology" presents us with a collection of drawings manifesting a modern take on mythological iconography. The portraits executed on paper with coloured pencils, put forward a vulnerable side of mighty gods with a daring and idiosyncratic perspective fused with an explosion of colour and time consuming technique. In 2016, Lapinus took a bit u-turn in his creative style, dropped pencils as his medium of choice, and swapped it for paint and diamond dust. This change resulted with two group shows in London, where he showcased amongst the best - Marc Quinn, The Clapham Brothers, Schoony and Lauren Baker. "Art should be a constant evolution, revolution, and and endurance in making the change. When you become too comfortable with your style, it becomes flat and empty" Lapinus
