ROLLOVER TO ENLARGE
Women have always been the artist's muse. It is thus fitting to view four of Ray Caesar's iconic women to embody the universal characters of humanity as rooted in The Four Elements: Fire, Air, Earth and Water. The concept of the classical elements representing the realms of the cosmos wherein all things exist and whereof all things consist has proved extremely persistent in all cultures from antiquity to the present, influencing disciplines as widespread as medicine and astrology. It is a concept that will continue to make lasting impressions upon the human psyche, as do the women of Ray Caesar. After all, it is a little like looking at ourselves, but with all our fears and passions revealed.
Earth is the most tangible of the Four Elements. You can hold it in your hand. In classical Greek philosophy and science, it was commonly associated with qualities of practicality, restraint and materialism. It was also associated with the physical, sensual aspects of life.
