Persephone

Persephone is a Greek story of the daughter of a goddess who is stolen by the ruler of the underworld. This was a commision done for a friend who collaborated with me about the theme for the painting. In the story Persephone eats six seeds of the friut which means she has to stay in the ufor six months out of the year. In mourning her goddess mother then put the worl under the spell of winter for those six months.
