Mythological nude oil painting on panel portraying a reclining female figure on a Mediterranean shore, reimagining Penelope from Homeric myth. This large-format figurative painting by Sula Repani reinterprets the myth of Penelope—not as the passive wife awaiting Odysseus, but as a woman suspended in her own world of memory, longing and transformation. Painted in oil on panel, Penélope presents the protagonist resting nude on a golden shore, her eyes half-closed, surrounded by references to sea voyages, mythological animals and imagined onlookers. A ship sails in the background, dolphins leap through blue waters, and a dark silhouette emerges in the foreground, possibly Odysseus—or her own shadow. with a palette of ochres, turquoise, siennas and smoke tones, this symbolic figurative painting builds a richly imagined landscape of inner and outer geographies. Repani, born in Greece and based in Galicia, uses oil with a soft, narrative brush to navigate between cultural memory and feminine agency. The figure of Penelope becomes both historical and contemporary—a reflection of desire, strength and waiting as an act of will.
