While my art is created to be aesthetically pleasing it is also rooted in ethnology and antropology. To faithfully portray the details which define a historical time, place, or event is really importance. It is through such details as clothing, hairstyles, weapons, and jewellery that it may be differentiated between certain ethnic groups and tribes.
While the settings, subjects, and spatial arrangements of my paintings are purely imaginative it is important to respect the function and position of each subject within their society. For example, this is often portrayed by the position or the clothes of characters. You might ask me where is the imagination ? It is through the general atmosphere that we becomes emotionally engaged. Such elements as the sky, the landscape, the subject's posture or even facial expression come together to create a certain atmosphere, and it is the imagination's job to harmonize them.
