In this reimagining of myth, this 18×24 inch oil painting on handcrafted Birchwood panel, captures the moment of sanctuary and rebirth shared between Eros and Hyacinthus atop a sea-washed cliff. Rendered in the style of the European Old Masters, the composition’s strong triangular structure and nuanced light convey a profound emotional gravity. The intimacy between the figures resists tragic narrative, instead asserting a space of queer love, safety, and chosen liberation. With painterly brushwork and monumental scale, the piece becomes an allegory of survival and the right to joy.
