Artistic Creations
Scotta’s paintings and sculptures are inspired by the archetypal myths and symbols of different cultures, as well as female beauty and its association with creation and regeneration.

The artist creates his own mythical cosmos, drawing on primordial images that echo across history, expressing and combining these in ways that draw on the qualities of different materials.

His work combines the immediacy of representational art in different media with a unique and visually sophisticated representation of archetypal themes. (Examples can be seen on Scotta’s website and in the art catalogues cited below  .)
