Titanic: A Study in Obsession

 

The sinking of the Titanic is more than a historical event—it’s a myth and a lingering ghost in the collective imagination. It has been romanticized, scrutinized, and endlessly retold, yet beneath the familiar narratives lies something darker: human arrogance, fleeting luxury, and the quiet force of nature reclaiming what was never ours to control.

My Titanic paintings are an exploration of this—fragments of opulence suspended in time, the eerie beauty of a world on the verge of vanishing.

This isn’t just about nostalgia. There’s a wry humor beneath it all, an awareness that history tends to repeat itself, that hubris rarely learns its lesson.
