"Polyxena" (2019) by Kateryna Lysovenko is a painting that depicts a scene from Greek mythology. The painting features a centaur, a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, with a human woman. The woman is nursing a baby, while the centaur lies on the grass. The centaur has a long, flowing beard. There is a small child interacting with the centaur's horse legs. The painting's overall color scheme is warm and earthy, with touches of blue in the sky and greenery in the background. Lysovenko's work often draws inspiration from classical mythology, and "Polyxena" is a powerful example of her ability to capture the beauty and drama of these ancient stories.
