About the Artwork
This evocative piece draws from Greek mythology: the legendary Minotaur, the half-man, half-bull monster confined in the inescapable labyrinth built by Daedalus for King Minos. Carmassi captures the mythic essence of Asterios (the Minotaur), born of Pasiphaë and the Cretan bull, blending surreal power with timeless fantasy. A perfect addition to collections focused on myths and legends, mythological bestiary, fabulous monsters, imaginary creatures, Greek myths art, or surrealist-inspired prints.

Why This Piece?
Bring a touch of ancient legend and unreality into your home decor. Let the Minotaur’s gaze transport you to a fantastic universe of labyrinths and myths— an affordable mental escape to a world of imagination, far from everyday routine (even if life is already good!). Ideal for living rooms, studies, galleries, or mythology-themed spaces.
