The snow that fell a few days ago in New York inspired Greek artist Marios Tzavellas to sculpt a Greek god, according to thenationalherald.com.
Tzavellas went for a walk in Astoria Park on December 17 following the snowfall. There, he started his creation with the initial idea of making a snowman along with fellow artist Melissa Vadakara, according to the Queens Daily Eagle. In the process, something resembling an ancient statue emerged and the final result was the Greek god Poseidon.
“It was an idea of the moment, I started for fun. I have not done it again. The only difficulty was the cold that bothered me. Initially, I tried to make a snowman, I liked the texture of the snow. Then I thought it could look like a statue and that’s how this person came to be, who could be Poseidon, the god of winter or snow,” Tzavellas told The National Herald.
