My work has a syncretism-symbolist style. I use mythologies from eastern and western civilizations. Syncretism is the fusion of different beliefs, philosophies, mythologies or religions, emphasizing an underlying unity that allows an inclusive approach to other faiths, and has expressions in art and culture that can join together. I use it to develop patterns that reveal how our current culture opens itself into its different art’s functions to reflect our way of living, hopes and mistakes.
The purpose with my work is to communicate our history, where we are now so that people can understand that we have choices as to our present and future. The prophecies that are in mythology, philosophy or religion will be the same today as they were in ancient times. They become alive when the patterns that created that prophecy are repeated in history. They are a warning, that history will be repeated if the patterns are not acknowledged and behaviors changed. My focus is on these patterns.
