Philosophy is in itself an art form, one that is expressive of life. The greats, Epictetus, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Plato, Socrates and Zeno have inspired this collection of works.

By using Charcoal on canvas the rough qualities are piercing through the sleekness of the silhouette, carrying the message of the dichotomy of life.
