Superheroes take an important part in humanity’s collective consciousness. Their tales help children around the world learn and understand the eternal struggle between the good and the evil. But how well do we know them? Is there more to them than we know from the cinema screens? Mr. Soapski’s regular escapes to virtual worlds of his imagination have led to the formation of his own perspective on the characters. Over the years the artist had imagined a different, human side to them. A side unknown to hundreds of millions of superhero fans. In this series Mr. Soapski reveals this unique angle, deeply connected to his own feelings, influenced by his life’s experiences. Superheroes act as powerful symbols in our lifes’ journeys also as teenagers and adults - undeniably inspiring many of us to make better life choices when faced with difficult choices. Through bringing us his own interpretation, Mr. Soapski makes us question how well we know the superheroes, making us smile and nod our heads for indeed, there could be more to the superheroes than we thought we knew.
