Bring the timeless power of Greek mythology into your home with Daedelus, an original A2 graphite artwork honouring the legendary craftsman and father of Icarus. This striking piece captures Daedelus mis-ascension - wings outstretched, muscles tensed, and eyes fixed upward - symbolising human ambition, ingenuity, and the cost of creation. Rendered with exceptional classical detail, the piece echoes the drama and grandeur of sculpture whilst retaining the depth and subtlety of hand-drawn graphite.
Perfect for collectors of classical art and mythology, this artwork becomes a commanding focal point in large living spaces, gallery walls, or newly designed, modern homes seeking a sense of heritage and sophistication. Its dramatic composition and meticulous shading and detailing make it feel like a museum-grade statement piece - one that grows in depth and richness the longer you look.
This original graphite artwork is an A2 sized (42 × 59.4 cm) unframed portrait and was hand crafted using graphite pencils on archival extra white bristol board. Whether displayed in a modern interior or a more traditional home, Daedelus adds depth, history, and meaning to the space it inhabits.
