The Hero's Journey
Oil on Canvas, 2024
96" x 96" (244cm x 244cm)
This is the most labor-intensive painting that I've made, taking more than 3000 hours spread out over two years. It is a spiraling chronological timeline of heroes throughout the history of Western Civilization, beginning with Moses, and ending with Neo.
