Mythopoeia

'Mythopoeia' is one of my best-loved words. It describes perhaps the most fundamental process in the creating of my paintings. For me, it is the gateway from which deeper meanings and emotions emerge - enchantments that present themselves in the artwork from an inherent and deep-seated origin.

He is humble, patient despite many trials, Ages it's been since he set out from the known- world that he dwelt in peace and security, Yet love drives him on like a thirst for water.

Myths and fairytales are very resourceful in giving us accounts of life's experiences. Because of their metaphoric and direct nature they do this with great efficiency.

The great themes of humankind are expressed in their concepts, narratives and symbolism. Their themes have germinated, developed and evolved in direct simultaneity with the evolution of the human heart and mind.
