“This collection of paintings is about myth and history. The ripple of history and its mythic aspect brought to the present. Rooted in the trend of the occult exploration of the artists and intelligentsia at the turn of the 19th century – Joséphin Péladan, Aleister Crowley and Gustave Moreau – influenced my vision. The Edwardians were intensely interested in in western mysticism. Egypt and The East intrigued and influenced them. At the turn of the 19th century artists and writers explored hidden knowledge to understand the tumultuous era they lived in. At the turn of our present century we do the same.” – Kim Seltzer
