| "Mythology
offers me a channel to express visually the opposing forces of good and evil, fear and hope,that humanity is all about." | |||

| Myths
are stories that recount super-natural exploits reflecting the full range of human
failings, tempations, sins and virtues. They originated with the glimmering of
civilizations, and have persistently intrigued people for thousands of years.
Essentially the myths we learn and interpret today are the legacy of the early Greek and Roman empires. Because of their inherent larger-than-life yet relevant themes, myths have inspired artists, composers, and choreographers throughout the ages. Masters such as Raphael, Poussin, Tomayo, Matisse, Picasso, and Beardon have paid homage to mythological themes. Weaving together the real and imagined worlds, mythology stirs emotions and stimulates creative expression. The stories are stirring, cruel, ironic, funny, violent, or tragic. In the world in which we live, new stories describing terrorism, vengeance, famine, and genocide prove that mythology still knows no boundaries of time and place. Artists continue to draw inspiration. | |||
