Sentinels of Ancient Cultures |
|
I have created a series of pictures titled "Sentinels of Ancient Cultures". I aimed at comparing the art of cultures on distant continents emphasizing the similarities of motifs and myths. These artifacts are tipically made of stone, and a painting on cork - due to its cell stucture - can picture the aesthetic and spatial effects of them very well.
I think that the educational aspects of these works are also worth mentioning since through these paintings the audience might meet for the first time and find similarities between things like the Dreamtime period of the Australian natives and the rock engravings in the heart of Africa.
