ink pens, markers and gel pens on paper, letter size. Often a story is pulled into the web of my work, and such is the case with the painting ˜The Singing of the Sirens”. It is the expression of a chapter from a Greek legend in Homer´s Odyssey 800 BC, Chapter 12. It portrays the moment when Ulysses passes through the dangerous, bewitching, singing of the half-woman, half-bird Sirens. Bound to the mast, he can safely listen without succumbing to their delightful calls, which could spell doom for his ship and crew. The dark colors are the music sounding through the air and water with gold portraying the mysterious tempting Siren tunes. The Sirens appear as white forms as the ship of Odysseus drifts to the right in the waves. The passions of life are displayed with the red colors using green to balance it with the hope to get through alive. Dark violets portray the evil, entrancing singing, the bewitching of all peoples..as the black form in mid remembers on the shadow of a bird´s body. The winding whirlpool in back is the spinning of the next adventure in this book, “Skylla and Charybdis”. A Symbolic Abstraction style was used to display this story with markers of different types, and gold and neon pens on primed paper. The pens were used in a painting-like effect, so as to allow different colors to shine through and blend only in the viewers unique eye, without mixing on the paper itself. Each viewer then shall see a special blend of the own eye and imagination.
