Cadmus - Gay Dragon Prince Framed Canvas
Cadmus is the spectral heir of an untamed gay bloodline—half prince, half dragon, entirely legend. His face—delicate but unyielding—emerges from the shadows of gothic portraiture, a vision of gay surrealism entwined with baroque fantasy. Twisting, horned bone spirals from his skull—a relic of dark aristocracy, fusing reptilian myth with Victorian elegance. His headdress—part ancient beast, part ornamental grotesquerie—curves with the menace of medieval dragon iconography, its gilded coils tightening like fate itself.
Draped in historical couture, his queer silhouette echoes 18th-century fashion, yet the eerie stillness of dark surrealism lingers. Gilded buttons gleam against black brocade, while unearthly pink florals bloom—mocking softness against his cold-blooded ancestry. His presence evokes the rich symbolism of queer mythology, a bridge between divine royalty and gothic horror. He is neither hero nor villain, but something rarer—a dreamlike embodiment of high fantasy art and aristocratic rebellion.
Cadmus does not belong to the past. He rules in liminal spaces, where opulent nightmares and Renaissance-inspired fantasy art merge into something unspeakably exquisite.
