Penelope Painting

This work is painted, using self-produced mineral & earth pigments. The surface is prepared with a gesso containing a large amount of ground Cararra marble. A self developed technique, which is partially responsible for the clarity and depth created in the painting. A work which takes the Inspiration from the classical mythologie, but ultimately is interpreted in the artist very own, originial way. Giving to an ancient, time honoured theme a new contemporary aspect. Executed in great details, one will discover even over time, always new and intriguing details. It is essentially the artists aim, to combine two opposing elements, one hand the emontional and on other hand the rational, to one, harmonic composition.
