In real life 'Apelles' was a Greek painter, who was court
painter to Philip II of Macedonia and his son, Alexander the Great.
Notable works included a portrait of Alexander, an allegorical picture of
Calumny, and a painting of Aphrodite
rising from the sea. Though no copies of his works survive, in antiquity he was
considered the greatest of Greek painters.
What has this to do with
Luna? Well everything actually. Luna is a highly talented highly creative
content maker in Second Life, so clearly that is why the name Apelles resounded
with her.
Lunaria is the name of her brand and she creates
everything from Castles and paintings to Steampunk Dirigibles and everything
else in-between.
