Symbolic Art as Contemporary Visionary Art

Symbolic Art

Symbolic art is a journey through myth, dream, and the unseen interior of the psyche. I work in this visionary tradition inspired by fin-de-siècle Symbolists and draw inspiration from Jean Delville and Fernand Khnopff.

Symbolism emerged against rampant industrialisation and materialism. It turned inward to the spiritual and the enigmatic as technology pressed forward. I engage this paradox as a synthesis, not a conflict. I weave the technological and the mythological, the material and the spiritual, into a new visual language.

This fusion is not an escape from reality. It is the conscious creation of a different one. By interweaving these threads, we begin to reveal the underlying matrix of a future humanity, one that holds both the logic of the machine and the truth of the soul. Through a meticulous technique that honours those who came before, I aim to open portals to this nascent world. I invite the viewer to contemplate a realm where dreams and progress are reconciled into a harmonious, if mysterious, whole.

Through my art, I work to present a new mythology for the future. I see synthesis, not contradiction, as the path where spirit and technology meet.
