Calypso’s love for Ulysses is undeniable, but it is the call of destiny and the yearning for his homeland that ultimately beckons him away from her embrace. This conflict is evident here– the juxtaposition of Calypso’s island paradise against the vast expanse of the open sea symbolizes the eternal struggle between love and duty, desire and destiny.
But at the same moment, there is also a sense of liberation – the freedom that comes with embracing one’s true path, even if it means leaving behind the comforts of familiarity.
As the waves gently lap against the raft, carrying Ulysses ever closer to his fate, the painting serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of love, sacrifice, and the eternal quest for belonging.

Painting comes to me from an inner desire to self-express, to capture what goes beyond the tangible and past the obvious. My art is about everything that influences my life, a place, a person, a thought, a feeling of love, anger or exasperation, chance and light. Chance and light are important components of my paintings. Capturing the light sometimes by chance is my inspiration. The light which can be both a wave and a particle, this quantum entanglement of nanoscale particles fascinates me. The light itself is the magical component in painting, many times trying to find its way to suppress the darkest thoughts in life. I am interested in creating different emotions to the viewers.
