I was introduced to the Minotaur story when I was around eight years old. My father was trying to make a philosophical point about the importance of improving my social skills. Needless to say, I did not get his point. I did get traumatized by the horror of being locked in a labyrinth. I felt pity for the mighty, lonely beast with nothing to do but to scare others with his presence; brute and unique, unaware of  his mortal nature. I have been painting the beast ever since.
