Who is Phaedrus?: Phaedrus is the artist's name of Peter Tromp. You are exploring my virtual gallery on the Internet. This gallery shows the products and the dreams in many projects and disciplines which make up my work between the arts of magick and creativity. Combining visual art with the art of symbolism and magic, I try to capture the world in its essential energy. For this I not only use the two dimensional arts, but also try to combine it with performance and ritual. Rituals are an often neglected, sometimes complex but valuable way to express your innermost essence in abstract concept and symbols. The discipline makes it possible to communicate with people and the world in a concentrated and focused way. Having studied in hermetical schools as well as pagan traditons, I developed my own artistic style to express the ideas and patterns I want to pass along. This will always be a never ending process and will always be in flux. Besides being a visual artist I took also part in educational projects. At the moment I work at an archeological museum where I take great pleasure in educating and organising exhibitions. Passing on knowledge is my absolute drive and passion. As a poet and performer I am always ready to climb the stage for a lecture or performance. In the end, sharing your vision with the public is what it's all about. That's why this site will always be changed and reinvented to show what's going on. Once again many thanks to everybody who gave some response to last years' versions. I hope you will continue to give your comments.I am always grateful for all criticism, ideas and support. You can always mail me at phaedrus@dds.nl. |
