🌙 “Hecate” 🌙

I’m thrilled to unveil my latest artwork, “Hecate,” inspired by the powerful and enigmatic goddess of Greek mythology. Hecate is the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts, and necromancy. She represents the maiden, mother, and crone, symbolizing the phases of the moon and the stages of a woman’s life.

In modern witchcraft, Hecate is revered as a protective and guiding figure, called upon for wisdom and insight in rituals and spells. She stands at the crossroads, offering guidance and protection to those who seek her favor.

✨ Artistic Details ✨
In this piece, I’ve employed techniques inspired by stained glass and cloisonné to create a rich and intricate visual experience. Hecate is depicted with flowing, stylized hair that merges seamlessly with her intricate mantle folds. Her serene yet powerful visage is framed by two hounds.

The use of gold leaf and deep blues, along with intricate patterns, evokes the cloisonné technique, while bold outlines and segmented areas of color reflect the influence of stained glass. This combination enhances the mystical and revered depiction of Hecate, blending elements of ancient art forms with a modern twist.
