------------------------------------------------------------------------

This piece belongs to my new "David" series, exploring strength, courage, and an unwavering belief in oneself. Early on, I felt determined to paint a powerful figure—and found him in Perseus, one of the most famous heroes of Greek mythology, renowned for beheading the serpent-haired Medusa.

For this piece, I chose cosmic, universe-inspired tones—my way of bringing the figure into our own time, timeless like the universe itself.

To me, Perseus embodies the same qualities I admire in David: the courage to face something monstrous, and the cunning to overcome it not through brute force alone, but through wit. On his return, he rescued Princess Andromeda from a sea monster and took her as his wife—a hero's tale of danger, love, and triumph.

The gods equipped him with winged sandals to fly, a cap of invisibility to move unseen, and a sickle to strike where it mattered most. Like David, Perseus reminds us that true strength lies not in size, but in courage paired with intelligence.

Important Note on Shipping Options:

To ensure your new artwork arrives safely and under the best conditions, I 
offer two shipping options for oversized pieces (larger than 80 cm / 30 inches):

• Rolled in a Tube (Canvas Only, free shipping): The original painting is carefully removed from its wooden stretcher bars and shipped securely in a heavy-duty mailing tube. This option is highly cost-effective for worldwide shipping, as it completely avoids expensive freight forwarding fees. Upon arrival, you can easily take the canvas to a local frame shop in your area to have it re-stretched.
• Stretched on Frame (Ready to Hang): The artwork remains mounted on its wooden stretcher bars and is delivered as a large, fragile freight shipment. It arrives ready to be placed directly onto your wall.In this case, the painting is fitted with a hanging mechanism on the back (steel wire).  Please note that for large-format pieces shipped outside of Switzerland, significant international freight charges apply to this option.

The preparation time for shipping is typically up to 3 business days.

Delivery time depends on your location and the destination country.

We ship our artwork  carefully packaged and reliably protected, to ensure your painting arrives safely and undamaged.
