In modern times an Odyssey is significant of a long adventure of discovery (and Odyssey of discovery) or a spiritual perhaps even intellectual journey. The three piece canvas art set has a mysterious and unworldly ambience which immediately evokes the imagination - Visually the colors and curious forms of the oil painting come together to create an eerie combination which is able to conjure up a myriad of possibilities. In this way, this abstract oil painting is visually as well as mentally stimulating. It is able to incite the mind’s eye and in this sense it becomes an Odyssey – An extrasensory journey that belongs to the viewer alone: There are no ‘rules’ here with regards to interpretation – To which this is a highly expressive and ultra modern work of art.

The original Odyssey was a poem written by the Greek epic author Homer around 8BC: It is the ‘sequel’ to Lliad which gives a ‘scholarly’ and ‘artistic’ account of the ten year battle for Troy. Odyssey – Odysseia – fundamentally follows the journey of Odysseus (in Roman mythology Ulysses) home after the fall of Troy: Hence the word Odyssey has come to signify an ‘epic voyage’, physically, spiritually, or intellectually. Odyssey is somewhat of an ‘epic’, larger than life work of art that would rarely fail to capture the imagination – Or indeed attention.
