The Horned Guardian

12" x 12"

oil on canvas panel

Step into a world of myth and moonlit wilderness with this evocative oil painting of a satyr resting on the windswept moors. Rendered with masterful classical technique, the figure’s powerful physique, curling ram-horns, and keen, otherworldly gaze make him feel both ancient and vividly alive. The landscape—rolling green hills beneath a glowing crescent moon—adds a haunting serenity, contrasting beautifully with the raw, primal presence of the subject.

The artist captures a sense of quiet dominance and natural confidence: the satyr reclines against a weathered stone ruin, his form illuminated by cool twilight blues and warm, sculptural highlights. It’s a striking blend of fantasy, masculinity, and pastoral romance—perfect for collectors who appreciate mythological themes or contemporary figurative work with classical roots.
