David Leviathan

open…Sensuality and religiousness are indeed the stated elements of Leviathan’s work, using, in his own words, the expression ‘An Eternal Cosmic Mating’, or ‘Elements of Earth, Air, Water and Fire’. The desire to bring together the transcendental and the mundane, is the charger of the brush…close
