Hidden Myths
Eduard Inglés

Greek Mythology is not a collection of distant stories but a reflection of our modern lives and our struggles.

Hidden Myths explores the relationship between ancient myths and our contemporary realities. The morals of stories such as Pandora’s box, Prometheus’ fire, the fall of Icarus, or Medusa’s gaze are presented from a symbolic point of view using geometric abstractions and strong colour contrasts. Each myth is a platform to reflect on modern life through an allegorical perspective

Hidden Myths aims to spark conversations and give space for contemplation. The goal of this body of work is to challenge the viewers’ preconceptions and propose new perspectives on the realities surrounding our lives.

Moreover, I created this work to bring to the surface the psychological conflicts that we face when interacting with technology, the moral issues that artificial intelligence raises, and the consequences of human ambition. Creating parallels with ancient stories is a way of asking ourselves if we are repeating the same patterns. By revisiting these narratives in a modern context, Hidden Myths questions whether progress truly separates us from the past, or whether the same human dilemmas remain.
