The King Sphinx Lamassu. This painting was created in mourning of an age gone past but as a revival and rebirth of the legendary Lamassu mythology of Syria. Having seen the ancient wonders of the Assyrian sculptures being torn down by war in recent times this artwork was created to remember the loss of culture and human history. This creation is in honor of one of the most ancient cultures and to commemorate the loss of artefacts. It also is a rebirth with a halo replacing the traditional hat.
