The Moon Princess
The Moon Princess
Oil on Canvas . Original Artwork . 508mm x 610mm . 20” x 24”
The ancient Japanese legend of a princess, descended from the moon, comes to life in this portrait against its nocturnal backdrop. Enchanted by the music and songs of children on Earth, the Moon Princess comes to live amongst Earth people and their children in a rural village. But very soon, the complexities of social class and culture disrupt her harmonious provincial life, forcing her to relinquish life on Earth altogether and return to the moon. In this painting, the portrait set against the iridescent moon conveys a contemplative mood, of imminent return to the moon.
