ORIGINAL GRIGOR VELEV ARTWORK !!!

2025, "Icarus II" - oil painting, ready to hang

This original oil painting is one of the latest artworks of the talented professional Bulgarian artist Grigor Velev. In this piece, he wants to awaken the mythic energy of ambition and human fragility. The enormous wings symbolize both power and the risk of overreaching, while the tiny figures scattered remind us of the delicate balance between dreams and consequences. The blend of realism with surreal playfulness captures that tension. This painting ignites boldness and reflection wherever it flies into your space.

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Daedalus warns Icarus first of complacency and then of hubris, instructing him to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea's dampness clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignores Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt. He falls out of the sky, plunges into the sea, and drowns.
