The Fall of Icarus is a 30 x 40 inch oil painting from the Sacred Circles series that depicts the ancient Greek myth through bold color, fractured forms, and dynamic movement. Suspended between ascent and descent, the central figure is surrounded by sweeping wing-like shapes in warm golds and ochres set against cool blues and violets, capturing the moment when ambition and human vulnerability converge. Rather than illustrating the story literally, the painting evokes the timeless themes of aspiration, freedom, and the risks of reaching beyond one’s limits, inviting viewers to reflect on both the beauty and the cost of transcendence.
