Over centuries, great civilizations mushroomed across the world. Some dwindled barely leaving historical remnants while others continued preserving ancient heritage and customs. Although history books tend to emphasize on the political and military power of these civilizations, there is also richness and significance in their cultural legacy which art can be oblivious to. It is in this wealth of cultural fervor that art and artworks can be enriched with much valuable information and a different view of the past. And it is in this we realize the innate force possessed by art and artworks (be it crafts, paintings, architecture, sculpture, theater, literature, or music), assigned these civilizations an affluent historical and cultural identity.
This is where the “Dynasty Series” begins.
It is a visual representation in the metaphor relaying cultural, historical and even anthropological significance of our great ancient civilizations. In the layers of paint, forms, colors, symbols, images and texture, the canvas becomes the plane to reverberate the past. It is a living surface wherein, art can explore new territories, develop new subject and produce constructive meaning.
