Kore

Artist: Will Binder

25 by 25.5 inches

Oil on Wood (Framed)

Description:

“Kore” by Will Binder is inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Kore, also known as Persephone. A figure deeply tied to themes of transformation, renewal, and the eternal cycles of life, Kore is presented here as a realistic marble statue, rendered with exceptional detail and lifelike precision.

Using the original marble statue as the model, Binder faithfully captures not only its refined sculptural beauty but also its imperfections—marks and weathering left by centuries of time. These subtle flaws are preserved in the painting as a beautiful homage to history, honoring the reality of what time can do to even the most revered works. Rather than idealizing or erasing these traces, Binder embraces them, adding authenticity and emotional depth to the composition.

Behind “Kore,” a luminous ombre background flows from the deep tones of the sea to the soft hues of the sky, creating a serene yet powerful setting that mirrors the duality of her story—life above and life below, light and shadow, growth and stillness.

Balancing classical subject matter with a contemporary visual approach, “Kore” is an ideal acquisition for collectors of mythology-inspired paintings, figurative oil on wood artworks, and realistic depictions of classical sculpture. It reflects Binder’s ability to fuse art history, narrative depth, and technical mastery into a single, cohesive work.
