Oath To The God of Poetry . 110x150cm. oil on canvas . 2024

The Wizard is Coming Home, 110x85cm, oil paint, canvas on wooden panel, 2019

The painting depicts a portrait of me and my wife and was inspired by my wife's coffee cup fortune-telling note 'The Wizard is Coming Home ..' one week before we met. I paint this after her unconscious prophecy. I imagined the artist as a wizard who creates an illusion by transforming reality into an object and creating a narrative using light, color, or just words.
