Icarus represents the eternal tension between human aspiration and limitation — a story of daring ascent and inevitable fall that continues to resonate across cultures and eras.

✦ Source Inspiration

Based on “The Fall of Icarus”, engraving
by Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617), ca. 1588
master of the Dutch Mannerist School.

Original impressions are held in major museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York).

All images show the actual artwork.

✦ Uncover the Silver-Lit Technique

On hand-applied silver leaf, specially crafted graphic design is UV-transferred to shape directional glow, deep contrast, and a modern, controlled chiaroscuro.

✦ Size Variations

Weight varies by size due to solid 18 mm birch plywood construction:

• 50 × 50 cm — 19.7" × 19.7" → approx. 3.7 kg (8.2 lbs)
• 60 × 60 cm — 23.6" × 23.6" → approx. 5.4 kg (11.9 lbs)

Substantial weight contributes to the artwork’s physical presence, durability, and premium feel.
