Aesop
GREEK SLAVE AND STORYTELLER
Aesop used animals to teach enduring moral lessons. His fables have captivated generations across the world for thousands of years.
Living in a rural village, I’m surrounded by animals that remind me of Aesop’s characters. They inspired this series of oil paintings, created in the hope of encouraging others to rediscover these timeless tales that still speak to our disoriented world.
