Apollo

"Apollo" is a textured abstract work from the Apollo and Daphne diptych, drawing deep symbolic resonance from Bernini’s iconic Baroque sculpture. In this piece, fabric becomes flesh and myth, layered and forcefully shaped beneath thick white paint — capturing movement not through figures, but through material and motion. Apollo is rendered with raw, linear energy — the folds of fabric pulled, stretched, and almost torn in the direction of longing and pursuit. The heavy white paint acts as both skin and silence, freezing this divine momentum in a single instant, much like Bernini’s marble did centuries before. The contrast between the masculine urgency of Apollo and the softer, evasive lines of Daphne in the diptych is deeply felt in the way each composition holds space, tension, and breath.
