Telling stories with the use of symbols and metaphors is as old as the human race and it will continue to be a source of inspiration for us all as long as we persist in our efforts to build a civilization. Not all of the works of fantasy shown here present a coherent story. Not all narratives can be readily understood, the viewer is wishing. Some of these paintings, like The Holy Family do represent specific themes and were meant to be used in the frame work of the catholic liturgy. "Tobias Mayer" was painted for a museum dedicated to him and "Hermann Pedro" hangs above the altar of the Church of the Great Seminary in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

A Stil Life can also tell stories, maybe you can discover what they mean.
