Azogires Naiades 6 (120423) 2023 Oil on cotton rag paper 40 x 30 cm / 15.5 x 11.5 inches Signed, titled and dated on verso in pencil The Azogires series was created while on a self imposed isolated residency in south Crete in the village of Azogires which is nestled in a prehistoric settlement and has been a site of holy pilgrimage for millennia. While there over the 6 weeks period he set out to focus, meditate and make art.
