Tantalus
Inspired by the Greek myth of Tantalus, this piece explores the beauty of desire — that luminous space between wanting and having. Layers of sun-warmed tan, deep black, and glints of gold flow like water and light, always in motion yet just beyond reach.
Echoing the myth’s theme of eternal longing, the composition balances movement and stillness, control and surrender. Its organic textures and warm earth tones invite quiet contemplation — a meditation on pursuit, restraint, and the fleeting nature of fulfillment.
Tantalus brings both elegance and emotional depth to any space, serving as a reminder that some beauty lives not in possession, but in the longing itself.
Would you like me to make the next ones in your Once Upon a Tan collection match this tone and length for consistency across your portfolio?
Dimensions: 24” W x 24” H x 1.5” D on gallery-wrapped canvas.
Archival satin varnish topcoat for UV protection. Comes ready to hang. Frame not included. Free shipping within the continental US.
