Description

“Poseidon II” by Inna Orlik, the artist delves into the powerful and enigmatic presence of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. Orlik captures Poseidon’s essence with a mesmerizing, abstract approach that conveys both the beauty and the ferocity of the sea. The central figure, representing Poseidon, emerges from a swirl of deep blues, teals, and earthy tones, as though he is part of the ocean itself. His expression is intense and contemplative, with eyes that seem to look through the viewer, embodying the god’s timeless power and mystery.

The color palette, dominated by cool aquatic hues, is layered with splashes of darker and lighter tones that evoke the changing moods of the sea—from serene calm to violent storms. The textures and brushstrokes give the impression of waves, currents, and underwater depths, suggesting the unpredictable and often dangerous nature of Poseidon’s realm. Orlik incorporates abstract shapes and forms around the figure, evoking marine life, and coral formations, subtly reminding viewers of the god’s dominion over all that lies within the ocean.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon is one of the 12 Olympian gods, known for his volatile temper and his ability to command the seas. Orlik’s portrayal captures this duality—the god as both a life-giver and a destroyer. The abstract, fluid style reflects Poseidon’s connection to water, emphasizing the sense of movement and transformation that defines the ocean. The face of Poseidon appears almost as a mirage or a reflection within the water, suggesting his omnipresence and his power to shape the world beneath the waves.

To stand in front of an Orlik artwork is more than viewing, it is a sensation inspired by a sprawling depth of spirituality, and the currents of history, imagination, and dreams. From myths that survive over time and those images of reverie which often turn a crushing reality into a bearable and almost poetic one. Inna Orlik has thoroughly studied painting and graphic arts, has exhibited her works all over the world, and chose Athens as the base for her passion. In her exclusive style of painting, she masterfully combines the Western technique and the fairy-like mystery of the East. Her compositions are dense, visual facts that create subjection to the viewer as a result of their noble artistry. Whoever stands in front of an Orlik painting sinks, almost unconsciously, into a world of magic where miracles can happen anytime.
