I creats artwork themed around psychological archetypes, fictional
mythologies and his personal utopia. During the last years the work
got more and more focused on my interpretation of religious
imagery, through a personal filter. With a naive, ancientlike, workmanship
i´m creating a language of universal symbolism and unwritten
mythology. My icons are psychological archetypes of the
collective subconciousness, dealing with originary fear and emotions.
On a search for the universal source of religion itself. The spiritual
ground, through all mankind, through all ages. Understanding
the outer world, through the inner universe. As a personal reflection
in an universal context. M.O.
