• Artist Statement:

Neo-Odyssey explores human consciousness, temporal journey, and spiritual union through my signature approach of Futuristic Surrealism. Set along an Aegean path beneath a swirling celestial vortex, the piece contrasts the static introspection of Rodin’s The Thinker with two figures actively stepping toward an unwritten cosmic horizon. Built directly into the lower foreground is a multi-layered aggregate time capsule—a mineral vessel containing a reflective Liquid Mirror window that captures the sky above. By merging raw geological aggregates (Ultrax, marble dust) with translucent oil glazes and reflective portals, Neo-Odyssey physically bridges earthbound human memory with multidimensional space exploration.
