Mark Selter paintings: historical

For some years now,

I have been reflecting and painting

a combination of classical and 18th century subjects,
using reenactors and historical interpretors
as reference and model.

As these paintings came into being,

I noticed that while each new person

viewed these works,

a story emerged.

The stories and interpretations

vary as greatly as the individuals relating them.

There is no limit to the interpretation

of an artwork-

feel free to let your imagination take you on a journey.
