Three Graces

"Body, Mind, Soul - dancing" after Raphael's "Three Graces" , oil on canvas 60x80cm.

"VIII

Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.
Nor beauty born out of its own despair,
Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.
O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?"

William Butler Yeats - from "The Tower"

Fortuna

"Fortuna" -oil on canvas 60x80cm - an homage to the goddess of luck and fate, powerful and upset on the world, keeping all the strings of existence in her delicate hands. She has red and rich hair, tangled as the paths of the lives of humans, she is glowing from inside, pulling her strength from the mineral world (the old rusty power generator which I found abandoned in a factory and painted behind her), transforming material energy into magical illuminating waves of thought.

Exhibited at Untitled Artists Fair London 2014 in Chelsea Old Town Hall.
