"Demeter" by Vasilis Zikos

Well done, particularly the way you parallel her pregnancy with the overflowing baskets to the right and the left of her feet.

Stunning. I've been looking for an image of Demeter pregnant for quite some time. Could I put it on my site? I will, of course, cite you and provide a link back to this point.

I like the composition in this one. It gives her a powerful look. Really well done.

This is just incredibly beautiful, and nice idea making Demeter pregnant and picturing her with the fruits of the land. Of all the representations of Demeter I have seen, this has become my favourite. Perfect!

Wow, another stunning piece.
May just be my tired perception, or it may be a deliberate act. I Love the whole drawing, and to me...I not only see the picture as it is, but i also do not see the grain and baskets of fruit and Veg, I see a womans reproductive system inside your painting, with the baskets as the ovaries.
If indeed that was purposeful well done!!! For it fits too perfectly, if it was accidental then your inner mind is verryyy creative indeed. no wonder your such a fantastic artist!

I think she is growing out of the grain...and as she is the goddess of fertility she almost h a s to be pregnant and I agree with Diana...
keep up the good work...cheers

I feel a connection to this image, not only because I am currently pregnant, but because I think this is a vision of a goddess that people really would worship. She doesn't look like an all-powerful, untouchable being whose experience is beyond our comprehension, but rather an embodiment of the human experience, with its beauty and anguish as well (we all know of Demeter's pain at her daughter's departure to underworld...)

I like that she is connected with the earth, not floating in a cloud or even framed by plants but disconnected noneless, as I've seen other artists represent her. I don't think Demeter would ever be comfortable away from terra firma.

Even while she weilds no lightning bolts, excudes no magical aura or any other theatrics, she does weild one of the most profound powers found in the world; creation.

If you can't tell, Demeter is one of my favorites of the pantheon.

This art is gr8, i wish i could draw like that. Keep on drawing everyone!

demeter rocks, and so does this!!! You have such a brilliant talent here

LOOK! LOOK!! *points at Demeters stomach* shes preggers... is it Persephone?

Love this picture. Its awesome.
