The Story of Minotaur and Dragon Blue linocut

Dragons appear across civilizations, yet their meanings change from one culture to another.
For example, in China they symbolize wisdom and prosperity, while in Europe they often represent fear and power. In Nordic mythology, they embody destiny. In Japan, they are linked to water, and in ancient Mesopotamia, they represent chaos.

However, in Minotaur and Dragon Blue linocut, something unexpected happens.

Instead of repeating a legend, this artwork creates a meeting between two archetypes.
On one side, the Minotaur represents the labyrinth and inner complexity. On the other side, the Dragon evokes transformation, strength, and breath.

Rather than fighting, they face each other in silence. As a result, a new space appears — a blue tension that feels almost sacred.

In this space, East meets West. At the same time, instinct meets elevation, and fear slowly becomes form.
