This project consists in a series of illustrations inspired by the mural paintings of the Renaissance period. I also drew inspiration from Pre-Raphaelite paintings, as well as in Celtic lore and Greek myths.
Besides these general influences, the first image was directly inspired by a passage from Walden, by Henry David Thoreau:
"I found myself suddenly neighbour to the birds. Not by having imprisoned one, but having caged myself near them.”
