This captivating painting transports us to a mythical realm where Melampus, the wise healer from Greek mythology, encounters a centaur. The artist's brushstrokes bring this enchanting tale to life. Fast forward to present-day Africa, specifically Kenya's Masai Mara. Here in the heart of nature's theater unfolds another gripping scene - a cheetah relentlessly chasing an impala. These majestic creatures engage in their age-old dance of predator and prey. The connection between these two seemingly unrelated events lies in their shared name - Melampus.
