Descripción
Helios is the Greek god and personification of the Sun. He is often described as a handsome man wearing a shining aureole, who drove the sun chariot pulled by four horses across the sky. This marble head portrays the god without the aureole, but there are holes on the periphery of the cranium, which were used for inserting the metal rays of his crown. The characteristic likeness to portraits of Alexander the Great alludes to Lysippan models.
It is currently exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, as Helios is also the city's patron.

I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
