Daphne

"Daphne" 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. Unlike Apollo’s forceful pull, Daphne embodies surrender and transcendence. The fabric moves with feminine resistance: draping, curling, almost lifting — as if caught between flight and metamorphosis.
