Unlike the original mythology story, my interpretation is different as I have not only choosen to reverse the genders of the main characters, but I also have replaced the 3 main female characters; Aphodite, Hera, And Athena with David, Dionysos and Hermes, respectively. And the Troja prince is now a High society lady named Paris, As for the fourth male Character, a music angel, I have noticed in some old master paintings for example, that of Lucas Cranach, there is another female character in the scene as well, but not an important part of the main story. I replaced her with him. Location of event: I have created the scene in the way that it suggests it happens in a museum that is exhibiting statues if all these male characters. The modern Paris came to the exhition and as she walks through the room, all of the male statues turned alive and all try their best to impressed Paris with their best qualities. As for Paris, Prince David appears to be a bit too arrogant, Dionysos deal with wine and Alcohol might be a trouble for a relatioship, Hermes, a dedicated messenger of God probably is too busy delivering messages for God and not time for a lovely family. The Music angel impressed Paris the most with his charm, flowers and music, the things that women love most in men. She then choose him and give his an apple of discord.

Prasong Kantanee Born in Chiang Mai, Thailand Education: B.A. in Business Administration at Strayer University, Washington DC, USA Although my academic study had nothing to do with Arts, my main interest in life has always been about Arts. Illustrating my imagination on paper and canvas as drawings or paintings has been my obsession. Ever since I was young I found myself drawing human bodies and a few times I got even caught in class during lecture by my teachers. Of course, they made fun of me since I drew mostly naked bodies, but that did not stop my passion for Arts at all. Later I finally got the chance of taking a summer class of Intensive Figure Drawing with live nude models at the National Cathedral of Washington DC. It was not really a class about teaching how to draw, but more of letting us draw and then share the result with our class mates. Doing this we could learn how the same object can be interpreted on paper in many ways by different artists and different styles of drawings, some more abstract, some more realistic. It was the first time in my life that I had the chance to draw live models. It was rather interesting for me to discover that live models give a much better perspective for the drawing of the human body than drawing from imagination only. It is fair to say that this was a turning point for me and my interest in Arts and I became rather obsessive with it. My Career as an Antique Dealer has given me a very good opportunity to get more knowledge of fine Arts as I attend often auctions and I also receive frequently auctions catalogues which often contain elaborated description of Old Master paintings as well as story and history behind them. A lot of times I am surprised to see what kind of motives, painters and history exist that I have never heard about and they are really amazing wonderful masterpieces and not less quality than those world most famous paintings and artists . From this, my knowledge of Arts and history grows even more. Since 2007 I have begun using camera images instead of my own mirror image working with self timer features to make varieties of photographs of me for my paintings. This method allows me to use different angles and a variety of lighting effects as well. I added set decorations that work for my motives and themes, sometimes in the form of collages which I can store as a complete set of requisites of my paintings.
