The Ouroboros Dragon and the Eagle —The Nature of Power: The paradox of strength—that ultimate dominance often leads to self-destruction.

In Mesoamerican culture, Quetzalcoatl, once honored as a deity, later appears subdued by an eagle.

By transforming these mythical figures into both sources of awe and targets of conquest we subvert our fears and assert agency over nature.

Similarly, European dragons, initially powerful symbols, are frequently depicted being vanquished or self-devouring.

“Each painting starts in this sketchbook where I gather ideas and inspiration from art history, design, pop culture and ephemera. From these images an idea is revealed and an initial sketch is made alongside the collage.”
