Elemental Series in Depth
Standing nude and iconic, I paint the elements and propose a new interpretation of the 5th Aristotelian one. Behind each, a mountain range parallels the four cardinal points (quoting eastern symbolism.) Acknowledging western symbolism, the 4 material elements are represented by female and male (energies) nudes, inhabitants of the day or the night. The golden circle and lines invite parallels with icons and altarpieces. The name of each symbol further separates the image from a simple narrative into an instrument of contemplation.
