“In 1575-1576 Tintoretto painted his magnificent The Brazen Serpent as ceiling
painting
for
the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, providing hope for overcoming the Plague
(Black
Death). In late 2019, I started my first paintings with this motif as idiosyncratic
transformations. As time and work went on, I became fascinated by the strong visual
appeal,
the multi-layered and multi-cultural meanings of this composition and the
extraordinary
relevancy to our own time. I would like to stress here that I do not use any
mechanical
projection methods. To me the personal physical interaction and struggle of the
artist
with
the translation of the subject is basic for finding the right artistic expression.”
