Digital Prints
The prints on this page are digitally produced and are also known as Giclée prints.
Original artwork is printed on to archival paper using fade-resistant, pigment based inks. Pigment based inks are not the same as those used in most inkjet printers which use dye based inks.
When using dye based inks. signs of fading or shifts in colour will be detected over a relatively short period of time.
Pigment inks won't fade over time and consequently the colours remain true to the original when printed on archival paper such as a Hahnemühle archival paper.

The Trojan War serves as a powerful metaphor for the brutality of war, highlighting both the glory and the devastating consequences that arise from human conflict. At its core, the war begins with a seemingly minor dispute—the abduction of Helen—escalating into a decade-long siege that ultimately leads to widespread death and destruction on both sides. This escalation illustrates how personal grievances and pride can spiral into extensive violence, often disconnecting from the original cause.
The prolonged nature of the war exposes the relentless suffering endured by soldiers and civilians alike. Heroes like Achilles and Hector embody not just valor but also the tragedy of lives consumed by relentless combat. Their stories reveal the emotional toll of war, including loss, grief, and the erosion of humanity amidst chaos.
Additionally, the infamous Trojan Horse exemplifies deception and the hidden dangers of warfare, where cunning strategies can lead to ruin as effectively as open battle. This tactic underscores the moral ambiguities often present in war, where survival may demand betrayal and trickery.
Ultimately, the Trojan War metaphorically captures the cyclical nature of violence, the illusion of glory, and the profound cost borne by individuals and societies. It serves as a timeless reminder that beneath tales of heroism and conquest lies the enduring truth of war’s inherent brutality.

The beautiful and the good.
The Greeks had a saying, kalos kagathos, "the beautiful and the good," which they applied to those whose outer beauty reflected moral goodness of mind and spirit. This thought helps explain the appeal of classical Greek art. Beyond the formal and technical means for creating harmonious and balanced images, the Greeks imparted to their works of art something of this greatness of spirit.Dramatic political developments had made the fifth century a time when the individual could indeed take charge of his destiny, for this was the first time in the history of the world in which a democratic government flourished. The reforms of Kleisthenes in 508-507 B.C. finally broke the power of the wealthy and of the landed aristocracy. By grouping the people of Athens and Attica into ten new tribes, Kleisthenes shattered old power alignments and gave every citizen a voice. A new sense of the power of the individual was in the air, and with it came a new sense of responsibility. Thus we have firm cultural grounds for seeing in the works of art a sense of measured action with full consciousness of its consequences, a sense of power tempered with calm deliberation.
