Eris (2026)

"Eris", the Greek goddess of discord and conflict, is portrayed in a rare moment of privacy, far from the chaos and rivalries she is known to create. Behind her divine power lies a troubled figure, lost in her own thoughts and inner struggles. Dressed in a voluminous red gown with dramatic folds, she wears a vintage golden diving helmet surrounded by an elegant Renaissance-style ruff. The helmet becomes a symbol of isolation, hiding her emotions and separating her from the outside world. In one hand, she holds a small blue bell-like object, adding a mysterious and almost playful touch to the scene. Behind her, four blue windows filled with stars interrupt the textured golden background, suggesting a world beyond her solitude. Combining classical mythology, surrealism and subtle irony, the painting reveals a more intimate and vulnerable side of Eris: a goddess who, despite being the source of discord, cannot escape her own inner conflicts.
