In Greek Mythology, the Elysian Plain was the paradise reserved for heroes on whom the gods conferred immortality. According to Homer, the Elysian Plain was a land of perfect happiness at the end of the Earth, on the banks of the Oceanus.

Reflective of the battles that led heroes to the cool, calm seas, this abstract expressionist digital painting contrasts fiery reds against cool blues. Shapes and colors conflict violently, but are resolved into a cohesive piece that is calming when viewed as a whole.

This original artwork was created from 7 separate drawings, paintings, photos and gradients layered onto one high-resolution digital canvas. This is a painting filled with conflict and competition, filtered to find the harmony and intentional contrast in the final piece. This piece is created in 8K resolution.
