Goddess Isis in Art Deco by Doran DaDa in Berkeley
Goddess Isis in Art Deco
This is my new temporary mural painted on the boarded up entrance at the now closed United Artist - Regal movie theater in downtown Berkeley, Ca. It will be there for approximately one year or until the renovations are completed.
Goddess Isis/Aset is blessing and protecting this historical building until it's new function comes next.
In recent years, I created a series of artworks based on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic-alchemy. The works are a personal journey driven by a deep lifelong connection to Egypt and Eastern Africa, where a recent DNA test confirmed my lineage and ancestral memory.
The artworks employ the African American science of "conjure”, to manifest esoteric symbolism of the hieroglyphs. I summon metaphysical archetypes in my works as I decode ancient hieroglyphs, reconstructing them into simplistic or abstract 2-dimensional acrylic paintings, murals, and digital art. I intend to connect people to divine knowledge and inspire a higher spiritual awareness.
Born in San Francisco, I received my BFA in The Netherlands at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and my MFA in digital arts in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University. I have a multi-career as a painter, new media artist (digital art/NFT), and a visual effects compositor on feature films and TV. Both painting and digital art have been my two intertwining lifelong passions.
