God of light, beauty, the arts, and prophecy, Apollo embodies balance and power. This series sculpture reinterprets his figure through a contemporary lens, where color and pop aesthetics do not contradict his classical origin, but rather revitalize it.
Each bust is a tribute to the permanence of the ancient world—a way of showing that the classical spirit remains alive, transforming over time without losing its essence. Apollo endures: eternal, radiant, and ever-present.
