This Twitter Soprano is a representation of talent, which is depicted in an androgynous boy who is singing a hymn of a golden tone. I have tried to express the quality of this sound in a vibrant yellow that radiates throughout the painting, but which also suggests the diaphragm’s vibrations that are involved in the act of singing. In fact every object responds and is drawn into the hymnody: the frogs and the birds – the symbols of Twitter – unite in harmony. There is one angry character (in the upper left-hand corner) who is intent upon killing everything. He is incapable of making melody because he is too limited, too stunted and talentless to comprehend the sheer magnitude of a ‘golden hymn.’

As an artist, I am exploring the Lost Paradise myth with all its beauty, violence and liberation. I blend our new icons of mass-produced toys, computer-game heroes and social net symbols with the meta-narratives seen in different Mythologies. In addition to Classical Mythology, I draw ideas from other traditions, for instance, ancient civilization in South America, as described by Levi-Strauss. These too may be juxtaposed with the contemporary PokemonGo game. Such a blending poses the question as to whether the modern world offers construction in decolonial processes or a new form of exploitation? The Gods and Heroes of ancient mythology have mutated and are now embodied in the virtual-reality of computer games. These have become the new fetishes of mass-culture and have assumed their new "flesh" in the plastic of commercial toys. Thus I am contriving an evolution of this subject-matter, and it is this that comprises my interpretation and representation of modern History Painting. As media for my art practice, I use traditional oil painting, but also experiment, to a considerable extent in a modernist way, by mixing different solvents and raw materials; using these to create texture as a distinctive background, an empty stage for my future figurative paintings.
