In "Minotaur", part of the Lost Between Worlds series, the artist reinterprets the mythical creature of the labyrinth as a symbol of primal power, existential entrapment, and the duality of human nature. The composition presents a crouching figure, muscular and intricate, with a body adorned in patterns and mechanical textures, resembling both a human and a beast. The creature’s head, crowned with a crescent moon and an all-seeing eye, hints at both divine insight and ominous surveillance, suggesting an internal and external conflict of identity.

The stark, linear background, marked by muted colors and geometric forms, particularly the pyramid, sets a contrast to the chaotic nature of the creature, evoking the complexity of structure versus instinct. The Minotaur’s posture, though fierce, is almost meditative, implying a deeper struggle with self-awareness—a being caught between rage and reflection, flesh and spirit, order and chaos.

The intricate rendering of the body, with its fragmented forms, creates a visual experience that borders on the mechanical, yet organic. It reflects modern concerns with the dehumanization of the individual in an increasingly complex and disconnected world. The figure, restrained by tendrils that may represent fate or technology, appears at once constrained and empowered—a being navigating the boundaries of its existence within a metaphysical maze.

This artwork reflects not just the mythological creature but also speaks to broader existential themes—alienation, power, and the human condition’s wrestling with its own inherent contradictions. The palette, largely subdued with occasional bursts of bold color, highlights the tension between the internal and external world, guiding the viewer into the psychological labyrinth that is as much within the creature as it is around it.
