About the Item

"Hypnos God of Sleep and Dreams", ink and acrylic on paper Hypnos is the personification of sleep, the god who touches humans with his wings. His mission is to help people sleep and dream. Free shipping with 1stdibs code. This drawing of Hypnos emphasizes grace and delicacy while retaining the dreamlike qualities associated with the god of sleep. The profile view lends a timeless, sculptural quality to the drawing, referencing classical busts. The stylized wing that extends backward from the figure’s head is beautifully integrated into the composition. The flowing lines of the wing and its vibrant strokes create movement, reinforcing the idea of fleeting dreams or the passage into sleep. The bold, expressive strokes in the wing and hair contrast with the smoother, more refined treatment of the face. This juxtaposition adds dynamism while focusing the viewer's attention on the calm, classical face of Hypnos. This painting emphasizes the gentle and soothing aspects of Hypnos. This work beautifully complements the artist's other Hypnos paintings, showcasing a softer, more introspective side of the god. Biography: Paula Craioveanu is a Romanian artist, born in 1976.

Dream
Located in Atlanta, GA
"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment. A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain." --Thaddeus Radell
