Marina Syntelis (b.1975) 'Kymopoleia'

An incredible new large oil painting from the amazing Marina Syntelis.

In Marina's words:

“Kymopoleia was a sea nymph, daughter of Poseidon and goddess of the storm waves. She somehow appeared on my canvas , wearing her long dress, at the left side of the painting. I spent a couple of years during the pandemic just watching the painting in progress, trying to imagine what the shape meant. Sometimes it felt like a rocky structure, while others it felt like a living creature. I did some reasearch and when I came across Kymopoleia, I was certain it was her. The moment I recognized her in my painting, I started working on it again, adding the final glazes and making sure the sky was bright enough behind the storm and blue enough to promise hope after all storms, past and future ones. “
