Petro Antyp. Scythian Diana

Petro Antyp’s sculpture Scythian Diana is a monumental composition in bronze and granite that unites elegant forms with deep symbolism. The image stems from Scythian beliefs about women’s power and protection, conveyed through classical symbolism of the Roman goddess of the hunt.

Diana is the protector of hunters and nature, appearing as both a fearless warrior and a gentle mentor.

The sculptor depicted Diana with a spear in her hands and accompanied by a dog, a symbol of loyalty and of her prowess as a hunter. This underscores her power over natural and military elements.

The plastic language of the work, its clear geometrical lines and rich texture of the material underscore the sense of majesty and steadfastness.

The sculpture doesn’t just honor the multifaceted image of the goddess: it offers a new visual take on ancient myths and legends, bringing them into the contemporary cultural space.
