Portfolio > Myths to mundane

In the pre-modern world, the identity and significance of mythology and folklores were communicated through prophesy and storytelling. Today, traditional archetypes are no longer familiar to everyone yet remain potent to individual imagination. My recent work explores how those myths are reformed in response to our contemporary experience and thus aspires to explore the potential of painting as a medium in contemporary culture that offers the possibility of mining and vitalizing ancient myths.
