About the Item
Signed, titled and numbered in pencil by the artist. Edition size: 30.
"The central theme of my works is man and his inner world. I use numerous religious, mythological and historical symbols (Noah, Jonas, Jacob, Sisyphus, Orpheus). Works are dreamlike, oneiric and have a disturbing and unrealistic climate. Permanent symbols such as dogs, dragons and fantastic creatures often appear. The idea of a tower is important for me and it often returns. This is a symbol of the soul, which renders the mysteries of the immaterial world.
The prints correspond with each other, they complement each other creating the endless story. The viewer can search for connections, threads, symbols and literary references which bind the works together. "
A beautiful portrait of a black man juxtaposed with a compass, perhaps referencing the slave trade and the foreign lands people where so many were sent.
