The term 'numinous' refers to spiritual emanation and denotes a mystical and mysterious presence,
underlying the material plane of existence. The 'Numinous' is that which is awe-inspiring and transcendent.
Leon Mahony's graphic illustrations are an interpretation
of his interest in words, pictures and the archaic origins of symbology.
His art-making explores evolutionary links to primordial experience.
He uses the digital tools that our current technology provides
to extend the boundaries of imagination, mythic memory and creative expression.
