​Path to the Future


This painting is a history of humankind.  The Neanderthal morphs into the ‘noble savage’ who morphs into the ‘conqueror’ who morphs into the optimistic future seeker all resting on the classic ‘pillar of civilisation’.  The pillar is precariously perched yet maintains stable. The four people rest on a lintel that morphs from the rustic wooden to classic marble.  The pillar’s decoration on the left is a primitive motif, and the one on the right is a modern motive.   The infinity icon (the eyes) on the right, contrasts with the teeth on the primitive side.  The computer icon for moving forward on the right contrasts with the teeth on the primitive side. The feathers on the savage and the future seeker and the wreath of the conqueror say that all through history, humans have decorated themselves with natural objects.   Similarly, the teeth necklace of the savage and the pearl necklace of the future seeker evoke the universal admiration of natural beauty.

​Mother Nature Unleashes Free Will



Mother Nature unfurls the double helix, releasing free will.  Civilisation, represented by the pillar, survives because of our ability to think and act for ourselves.  Nothing is predetermined.  The ornaments on the corners of the lintel feature Aristotle on the left, who believed in free will, and Sophocles on the right (the chain side) who believed in predestination, as in his famous play Oedipus Rex.
