THE VERDANT PRISON OF CALYPSO

The Verdant Prison of Calypso
This painting's lush, overwhelming palette of greens and yellows evokes the natural beauty of Calypso's island, Ogygia. However, the frantic, tangled brushstrokes convey a sense of struggle and confinement, not peace. It represents the seven years Ulysses spent trapped in a paradise he desperately wanted to escape—a beautiful cage where his dominant emotion was a restless, churning nostalgia for home amidst suffocating perfection.
