Mythical creatures on the beach 1971

Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas's 1971 painting "Mythical Creatures on the Beach" depicts a fantastical scene of human and animal figures interacting in a landscape. The figures are rendered in a stylized and abstract manner, with elongated limbs and fluid forms, giving the artwork a sense of movement and dynamism. This work exemplifies Ghikas's unique style, blending elements of modernism and classical Greek art. The artist's use of soft, muted colors and textured brushstrokes contributes to the dreamlike atmosphere of the painting, inviting viewers to delve into its enigmatic narrative.
