No.4: Narcissus



Oil On Canvas, 35cm X 46cm

Narcissus , a handsome young man grew more conceited as he continued to reject all the young women who approached him for his love. When he saw his reflection one day , he was infatuated by his own beauty .His vanity and ruthlessness was punished by the goddess of justice, Nemesis ,who made him suffer the same fate of those whom he had rejected and left with broken hearts .For his reflection , the object of his passion, had become impossible to attain.....

  2. Yeah,Narcissus was so cruel to echo! It was so sad.

    Btw the coincidence about "Fatima II" is that out of all your paintings/drawings I like it the most and is also the name of a friend of mine" AND she looks a tiny bit like my friend too.
