THEA FIGENSCHOU

In the Greek legends of Hercules and the twelve challenges, he fights the Cretan Bull sent from the sea by Poseidon. The Bull, a recognised symbol of chastity, fertility and patience, holds qualities which Hercules overcomes.

“The Wunderkammer project was a real turning point for my self-belief in persevering with my developing visual language. This project presents the first opportunity to promote your wider online presence to the industry and that’s a good kind of pressure. The submission of the rough to a deadline and the refining of the illustration with art direction is a most valuable experience. It is in fact this experience of the art director/Illustrator working relationship that primed my confidence to take on magazine and newspaper commissions before I had officially graduated.”
