Adelaide artist Yanni Floros’ presents hyper-realistic charcoal on paper drawings. The artist’s most recent series depict famous horses from Greek mythology, echoing stories over thousands of years of the bond between horses and people. Humans’ love for horses has become part of our myths and legends and play an important role in many different cultures.

Other series of Yanni Floros drawings celebrate the female form as landscape. Attributes such as endurance, patience, courage and bravery are representing and investigating the female form and landscape as a harmonious and symbiotic relationship.

Works in this series are inspired by the sand dunes of the Sahara desert, the waterfalls of Niagara Falls, snow covered mountain peaks of Alaska and the puissance of the River Seine. The mettle, and fortitude characterised in these works serve as homage to the timelessness of natural landscapes and the female form.
