This painting portrays the moment from Greek mythology where Danae, the beautiful princess of Argos, conceives the hero Perseus with Zeus, who transforms himself into a shower of gold. Zeus is depicted in the upper portion of the canvas, while Danae is illustrated below, capturing the scene of the golden rain pouring down between them. This narrative not only tells a love story between gods and humans but also symbolizes the human condition, subject to the whims of fate. MAIKA KOBAYASHI reinterprets this traditional myth with a modern twist, using the motif of golden rain to express a mystical and grand love story. The visually stunning golden rain serves as a symbol of hope and transformation, leaving a profound impression on the viewer.
