The exhibition brings together two mythic feminine triads: Persephone, Demeter, and Hecate,alongside one of my own contemporary myths The Fisherman and Mermaid Tale. These sculpted works using paint and mixed media are indicative of my practice in which I merge Ancient Archetypes and Hellenic painting traditions with modern narratives.
