Mister Copy "Athena"

Mister Copy is a South African street artist based in Paris known for his distinctive style blending photorealism with graffiti, featuring realistic portraits, 45-degree lines, drips, and halos to create modern myths and folklore. His work often combines ancient tales with contemporary elements, seen in large-scale murals that explore mythology, legends, and vibrant storytelling. 

In 2023 he visited Athens to create in the municipality of Vyronas a spectacular work, inspired by Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, and at the same time a tribute to the legendary dancer Isadora Duncan. Isadora came to Athens in 1903 and built her house according to ancient Greek standards in the area of Vyronas.

Today, the house functions as the Isadora and Raymond Duncan Dance Research Center. Isadora Duncan was inspired by ancient mythology, sometimes ignoring modern Greece and living in the spirit of the ancients.

In her dance, she sought the spirit in the poses of ancient Greek vases and appeared in a short Greco-style chlamys with charming folds that emphasized the curves and flow of movement, leaving her calves and feet bare.
