My Lifelong Fascination with Symbolism
Welcome to my blog. I’m Danis Noma, a lifelong artist with a deep fascination for symbolism and mythology. This space is dedicated to exploring the secular spiritual dimensions of art—the unsung heroic narratives embedded in the works that move us most.
For over fifteen years, I’ve been captivated by symbolism in all its forms, drawn to it precisely because it resists singular interpretation. A painting is never just pigment on canvas. A myth is never just a story.
Every brushstroke, every figure, every shadow speaks to something deeper: a core memory, a collective fear, a universal hope, a moral question that echoes across centuries.
As an artist, I’ve always been drawn to what lies beneath the surface. The invisible thread connecting folklore, mythology, religion, and the raw texture of human experience. These symbols are how we make meaning of what we feel but cannot name.
This blog began as a passion project. My own personal space to gather, study, and preserve the deeper meanings behind art that speaks in symbols. I won’t claim perfection; I’ve rushed some pieces, and I continuously return to refine them, sourcing references to back my claims (though my interpretations remain my own). From medieval allegories to surrealist visions, from ancient mythological archetypes to modern cultural icons, I explore how artists encode meaning into their work and why those symbols continue to resonate.
Because art with symbols matters.
