Atlantis Returns reimagines Plato’s myth of Atlantis through oil painting. Rather than depicting a lost city in collapse, the series explores Atlantis as a metaphor for memory — a submerged world that continues to influence culture, identity and imagination. Layers of blue, fragmented structures and shifting horizons hint at ruins resurfacing, as if history is being excavated from the depths of consciousness. The sea becomes a site of cultural inheritance and myth-making, tied to the ancient Mediterranean and the complex legacies it carries. In these works, Atlantis doesn’t vanish; it endures, changes depth, and returns.
