Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux
Nyx the Primordial Goddess of the Night
This illustration of the Greek primordial goddess of the night, Nyx. She was born out the chaos of creation and mated with Erebus, the primordial deity of darkness. Together they created: Aether (Brightness), Hemera (Day), Moros (Destiny), Keres (Destruction), Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), Oneiroi (Dreams), and several more children.
She resides in Tartarus and is considered to be a deity of such exceptional power and beauty that she is feared by Zeus himself.
This illustration will be painted in oil on masonite panel. Work in progress.
