Geometric patterns and ornaments can be found in the visual languages of many cultures, including ancient ones. The appeal of these historical artifacts remains unbroken and they are admired by humanity for their dignified and impressive appearance. ANCIENT WORDING is inspired and influenced by this. The colors focus on earth tones such as brown, yellow, red as well as black and white–as a sign of appreciation, especially for prehistoric images, which are impressive testaments to human expression. ANCIENT WORDING tries to integrate tradition in this way. The primary goal, however, was to create works with a strong presence whose compositions capture dynamism and playfulness,  radiate uplifting energy and thus call for the viewer’s attention.
