Icarus Falling – Limited Edition Giclée Print
In Melete: A Journey of Light and Transformation, Kati A Treble reinterprets the myth of Icarus through the lens of abstract expressionism, evoking a timeless meditation on human ambition, fragility, and transcendence. Drawing influence from the dramatic chiaroscuro and emotional depth of the Dutch Masters, this composition conjures the arc of Icarus’ fall — the soaring flight, the moment of collapse, and the quiet, poetic surrender to the sea.
Layered with expressive, gestural markings and rich tonal contrasts, the painting navigates the threshold between light and shadow, body and spirit. Hand-applied copper gilding flickers across the surface, echoing the ephemeral shimmer of wings and sunlight — a symbolic trace of what once reached toward the divine.
This archival-quality Giclée print captures the intensity and texture of the original oil painting with extraordinary fidelity. Printed on museum-grade paper, each piece is individually hand-gilded, signed, and numbered by the artist.
