“Midas Touch” - 40x50 cm, Colored pencils on 300gr Hahnemühle paper, 2025
Midas Touchcaptures the precise moment King Midas* realizes the true weight of his gift. In this intimate and haunting image, we see what he sees as his hand caresses the face of his lover, her features freezing mid-expression, consumed by gleaming gold. One eye remains human, gazing back with fading warmth, while the other is sealed beneath the metal and marble sheen, already unreachable. The golden surface is smooth, radiant, and seductive, yet what it hides is the horror of loss. In turning her into treasure, he has turned love into absence. The drawing immortalizes that instant of irreversible transformation, where affection meets regret, and beauty becomes a curse.
* King Midas is popularly remembered in Greek mythology for his ability to turn everything he touched into pure gold.
