Saturn Devours His Son DROMEDA deck triptych leaning against a walnut brown wall

SOME IMAGES WERE NEVER MEANT FOR AN AUDIENCE.

GOYA PAINTED THIS ONE ON HIS OWN WALL.


In Saturn Devours His Son, Goya confronts one of mythology's most brutal images — a god consuming his own child out of fear of being overthrown. Painted directly onto the walls of his house, it was never intended to be shown. DROMEDA takes that raw, unflinching work and rebuilds it across three genuine seven-ply maple skateboard decks — carrying one of art history's darkest images into a completely contemporary form.

GOYA · REBUILT ACROSS THREE DECKS.

DROMEDA DECK TRIPTYCH

GOYA'S
SATURN DEVOURS HIS SON

One of the "Black Paintings" Goya created for himself alone, removed from the wall it was painted on and reconstructed across three pieces of maple.

Three decks. One work.

THE ORIGINAL

Saturn Devours
His Son

There is no restraint here. Emerging from darkness, the figure of Saturn grips the body of his child, caught in an act of horror that Goya refuses to soften or explain away.


The myth is ancient: Saturn, warned that one of his children would overthrow him, devours them one by one. Goya strips the story of any classical grandeur and paints it as raw, animal terror.

The wide, wild eyes and the clutching hands feel less like a god than a creature consumed by its own fear. It is one of the most disturbing images in the history of Western art — and one of the most honest.

Goya painted it directly onto the plaster wall of his home, the Quinta del Sordo, as one of the fourteen "Black Paintings" he never intended to exhibit or sell.

More than two centuries later, DROMEDA takes this intensely private image beyond its traditional format and rebuilds it across three individual skateboard decks.

THE ORIGINAL WORK Museo del Prado · Madrid, Spain

THE ARTIST

GOYA

Francisco de Goya was born in 1746 and became the leading Spanish painter of his era, working for decades as a portraitist to the royal court.

But Goya's late work turned sharply inward. Illness left him deaf, and his vision of humanity grew darker, more political and more unflinching.

In his final years he withdrew to a house outside Madrid and painted a series of works directly onto its walls — images of fear, madness, violence and superstition made for no one but himself.

These "Black Paintings" were never signed, titled or intended for sale. They were discovered only after his death and later transferred to canvas.

Saturn Devours His Son is the most infamous of them. Rather than a polished mythological scene, Goya created something closer to a nightmare — primal, raw and impossible to look away from.

Two centuries later, it still feels like a confession.

THE RECOMPOSITION

RECOMPOSED ACROSS
THREE DECKS

DROMEDA takes the original composition beyond the conventional frame.

Rather than reproducing the painting as a single rectangle, the image has been carefully positioned across three individual skateboard decks. The spaces between the boards become part of the composition.

Darkness, light and the terrible intimacy between the two figures move across three separate physical objects while remaining connected as a single work.

Viewed directly from the front, the image resolves into Goya's composition. Move around it and the maple edges, concave forms and separation between each deck begin to take over.

THE CONSTRUCTION

SEVEN LAYERS
OF MAPLE

A genuine skateboard deck — not simply the shape of one.

Each DROMEDA deck is constructed from seven laminated layers of maple, pressed together to create the strength, curvature and profile of a genuine skateboard deck.

Look closely at the edge and those individual layers remain visible.

This is important to us. The skateboard isn't simply a shape onto which an artwork has been printed. Its construction is part of the piece.

Each deck retains the defining characteristics of a skateboard: its laminated maple construction, concave profile, raised nose and tail, rounded edge and truck mounting holes.

The artwork is applied across the face of each deck and finished with a satin surface that allows the image to retain its depth without the high-gloss appearance of a conventional reproduction.

SCALE & FORM

THE OBJECT

Three individual 31 × 8 inch decks form the complete triptych.

APPROXIMATE INSTALLED SIZE 28 in (71 cm) wide × 31 in (79 cm) high

Based on approximately 2 inches between each deck.

The result sits somewhere between painting, sculpture and an object from skate culture.

From directly in front, the three images resolve into Goya's composition.

Move around the piece and the experience changes. The curvature of the decks becomes visible. The maple edges appear. Shadows form behind each board.

What initially reads as an image begins to reveal itself as a three-dimensional object.

INSTALLATION

Your Dromeda Triptych is designed to be installed as three individual decks, with approximately 5 cm between each piece.

Position the centre deck first, then use it as your reference point for the two outer decks. Carefully measure and level all three mounting points before fixing the supplied wall mounts in place.

Wall construction varies, so always use screws and fixings appropriate for your wall type. If you're unsure, we recommend having your piece professionally installed. 

We have setup a dedicated page to guide you on the wall installation here. 

Once mounted, step back and check the spacing and alignment before making any final adjustments.

CARE

Your Dromeda Triptych requires very little maintenance. For everyday cleaning, gently remove dust using a clean, dry microfibre cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, household sprays or soaking the surface with water. If required, use a slightly damp soft cloth and dry the surface immediately.

Like other artworks, we recommend keeping your Triptych away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive moisture and sources of extreme heat to help preserve its finish and colour over time.

Handle the decks with clean, dry hands and avoid placing pressure on the printed surface.

Have questions?

What exactly is included with my Dromeda Triptych?

Each set includes three individually printed 7-ply maple skateboard decks that combine to form one continuous artwork, along with three wall-mounting brackets; everything you need to create the finished triptych.

How big is the Triptych once it's on the wall?

Each deck measures approximately 31 × 8 inches (79 × 20 cm). With our recommended 2-inch spacing between each deck, the complete installation measures approximately 31 inches high × 28 inches wide (79 × 71 cm).

Are these real skateboard decks?

Yes. Each artwork is produced on genuine 7-ply maple skateboard decks, complete with the shape, concave and mounting holes you'd expect from a traditional deck. They're made for display rather than riding.

How difficult is it to hang?

Each set comes with three purpose-made wall mounts — one for each deck. Simply position the mounts at your preferred spacing and hang each deck individually. We recommend approximately 2 inches (5 cm) between decks to recreate the intended composition.

Will the colours look exactly like they do on my screen?

We work carefully to reproduce each artwork accurately, but slight variations in colour can occur between screens and the finished physical print.

The natural maple construction and satin finish also give the artwork a physical character that can't be fully represented on a screen.

What happens if I change my mind?

Your purchase is covered by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If your Dromeda piece isn't right for your space, contact us within 30 days of receiving it and we'll help arrange the return in accordance with our returns policy.
