Old Master Inspired Fantasy Oil Paintings | 2022 - present
This series weaves together themes of mythology, science fiction, esoterica and symbolism into old master inspired fantasy dreamscapes.
These works represent something ancient and modern, drawing inspiration from the renaissance and baroque periods.
The method used requires an underpainting in earth tones with translucent layers of oils to build the overall colour scheme.
Details are added and refined as the work progresses.
