Minoan Collection (sold)
"The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best" - Jean-Paul Satre
In this section are 44 pieces of Minoan studies, recreated on stone or marble surfaces with oils to replicate the ancient method of painting directly onto drying plaster.
Between 1650 and 1400 BCE, the effects of an earthquake brought the Minoan civilisation to an end, so that much of what we know about them today is from what was found preserved by ash in Santorini or buried fragments in Crete. It appears Minoans had a different understanding of their external world than we generally have today, in that their culture was not only highly civilised, but encouraged a sense of 'best' from all its people. By painting on public buildings frescoes of both men and women equally contributing, they affected a unified sense of self belief that would raise their nation above others.
