About The Artwork
This story has captured the imagination of many great artists throughout the centuries. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rubens, Cezanne and Cy Twombly have all painted it. In Greek mythology, Leda was admired by Zeus, who seduced her in the guise of a swan. Their consummation, on the same night as Leda lay with her husband Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, resulted in two eggs from which hatched 4 children. One of them was the beautiful Helen of Troy, known to be Zeus's daughter. Her birth effectively set the grounds for the Trojan war. I have portrayed Zeus as menacing, yet attractive. He is a god, powerful, surrounded by blinding gold, forceful and unavoidable. Acrylic and 24k Gold leaf on wood panel

Artist in Residence, art'otel Battersea Power Station I view my art as a visual diary of my life. To paint is my way of analysing and understanding the world.My themes are always derived from everyday experiences and impressions. In my paintings I explore topics like movement, energy, contrast and the mystery of emotions. I am interested in how they interconnect into body language as the true expression of the individual.
