This piece depicts Perseus at the height of his calling—riding Pegasus, the winged steed born of consequence and victory.
Perseus was not the strongest, nor the loudest. He was chosen for his obedience to duty, clarity of mind, and willingness to confront what others would not. Armed not by ego, but by the gods themselves, he faced terror without spectacle and returned having finished the task.
Here, Perseus ascends on Pegasus through fractured skies, spear drawn, posture composed. The storm does not challenge him; it bears witness. This is not the moment of battle, but the aftermath of courage rightly exercised. The mission is complete. The burden has been carried.
Pegasus symbolizes elevation earned—not escape, but transcendence through responsibility. Together, rider and steed embody the union of divine favor and human resolve.
Rendered in disciplined monochrome, this artwork stands as a reminder that true ascent follows obedience, and victory follows restraint.
This is not myth for admiration.
It is myth for those who accept the charge—and rise to meet it.
