Mythology

Once upon a myth…

There are heroes, there are stories, there are Gods.

Mythology in painting, exhibits the plot, climax and conflicts in a much more dramatical way than in narration. It transforms mythological characters from abstract stories into “real” figures. From the second that Pandora opened the box, to the moment when Medusa was beheaded, the extraordinary setting is reinvented and illustrated by the artist’s brush and imagination.
