The Millennium Mythos Trilogy Gallery is Now Live!
A Secret Genesis Cycle
The foundational masterwork that sparked a 25 year artistic legacy. Step in through the ancient chamber that holds The Millennium Mythos Trilogy!.
This weekend has been an incredible journey back in time. Deep in the Essex studio archives, I have been busy unearthing pieces of my artistic history, lost pen-and-ink sketches from the year 2000, forgotten exhibition correspondence, and early explorations that laid the very groundwork for my practice today.
Rediscovering early works like my year-2000 ‘Alien Yin and Yang’ drawing and the ‘Man and Nature’ canvas made me realize something important: my art is not just a series of isolated paintings. It is a continuous, 25-year legacy project.
From those early, experimental sketches of my juvenilia to the massive, highly intricate oil panoramics of ancient civilizations I paint today, every single piece is part of a much larger, interconnected universe. They all belong to ‘The Millennium Mythos Trilogy’.
To celebrate this 30-year evolution, I am thrilled to announce that a fully curated, dedicated gallery for the entire ‘Millennium Mythos’ era is now officially live on my website!
I have built this new portal to give you a true glimpse into the “Long Horizon” of my work, connecting the past to my most recent masterworks.

Thank you so much to everyone who has followed this journey, whether you have been here since the early 2000s or just discovered my work yesterday. There is so much more to come!
