In a series of five painted, ceramic vases, Nonna Hoogland links Greek myths and mythological themes to the present.

Greek mythology

‘We Never Change’ is a reappraisal of Greek mythology. In a series of five painted, ceramic vases, Nonna Hoogland links Greek myths and mythological themes to the present. The vases are based on Ancient Greek pottery and the renaissance served as an inspiration for the paintings. By mirroring the portrayal of profoundly human themes in Greek mythology to our modern-day society, Nonna explores the shifting norms and values concerning these themes and concludes that human nature doesn’t change.

About Nonna Hoogland

Illustration has always been my way of processing and understanding myself, and the world around me. That's why emotions, ethics, history and human nature have always been the main subjects of my work. My work can be poetic, cynical, humorous or intimate, but it's always brutally honest. I've recently discovered ceramics, which has expanded the ways I am able to tell my stories.
