Archetypes


Here I'm focusing on archetypal gods and goddesses from Ancient Greek mythology to form themes for my paintings. By taking these classic archetypes out of the traditional context it challenges the viewer to reinterpret and come to possible new conclusion about their roles. I create new relations, most objects relate directly to the archetype but some are used to hint to their myths. This is intentional because these archetypal interpretations can be a comic reflection of our own qualities.
