Some faces seem to have existed before we ever saw them. They are part of a collective memory shaped by myths, legends, stories, and images passed down from one generation to another. Heroes, villains, mythical creatures, and other ancient figures may have no single, definite face, yet we seem instinctively ready to recognize them—as if something within us already knows how to receive them. Perhaps this is why these figures continue to return in new forms; from ancient myths and legends to the characters of cinema, animation, and popular culture that become familiar and lasting parts of our minds. In MYTHOSVERS, I draw these mysterious and imagined faces from the layers of my subconscious, through a combination of color, form, and a touch of ambiguity. Ambiguity is not necessarily an absence of information; sometimes, it is a space where the viewer’s memory and imagination become active. These are not portraits of specific characters, but figures that emerge from the mind—somewhere between memory and imagination, familiarity and unfamiliarity. Perhaps what we recognize in them is not a face we have seen before, but something we have always been prepared to see.
