Artist Statement

My aim is to complete a body of work of 12 acrylic paintings of diverse sizes

Greek Mythology is not a collection of distant stories but a reflection of our modern lives and our struggles. Hidden Myths uses those old narratives to challenge the origin and consequences of new technology, capitalism and artificial intelligence. 

The body of work explores the relationship between ancient myths and our contemporary realities. The morals of stories such as Pandora’s box, Prometheus’ fire, or the fall of Icarus are presented from a symbolic point of view using geometric abstractions and strong colour contrasts. Each myth is a platform to reflect on modern life through an allegorical perspective, where technological innovations, the development of artificial intelligence and the addictive pursuit of success have become an essential part of our lives.

Hidden Myths aims to spark conversations and give space for contemplation. The goal of this body of work is to challenge the viewers’ preconceptions and propose new perspectives on the realities surrounding our lives. Even though Greek mythology has been a subject many times explored by artists, this collection of paintings is exhibited to revive the old narratives and reimagine them through the lenses of our challenging modern society.

Moreover, I created this work to bring to the surface the psychological conflicts that we face when interacting with technology, the moral issues that artificial intelligence raises, and the consequences of human ambition. Creating parallels with ancient stories is a way of asking ourselves if we are repeating the same patterns.

By revisiting these narratives in a modern context, Hidden Myths questions if progress truly separates us from the past, or whether the same human dilemmas remain.

Artist Bio

Eduard Inglés is a Barcelona-born visual artist based in Australia since 1999, where he later became an Australian citizen. From an early age, he was drawn to visual expression, developing a lasting fascination with image-making that has continued to evolve throughout his life. Over the past decade, his artistic practice has intensified, resulting in a growing body of work and an increasing presence in both solo and group exhibitions.

Ingles holds a Bachelor of Arts from Curtin University, majoring in Fine Arts and Visual Culture. His practice is eclectic and fluid, spanning acrylic painting, digital collage, and illustration. He is particularly interested in conceptual approaches and surreal visual languages, using imagery as a means of exploring ideas rather than presenting fixed narratives.

His work often operates as a visual conversation, forming unexpected associations and inviting multiple interpretations. Through layered compositions and symbolic elements, Ingles seeks to evoke reflection, curiosity, and dialogue between the artwork and the viewer.
