Priestly's works skilfully explore modern life in a historical context, connecting past and present through poignant storytelling. His art serves as a vivid reminder of enduring human experiences. Each collection delves into a specific time period, and Dameon focuses on recurring themes of alienation, despair, and abuse of power throughout history, shedding light on timeless truths about human nature, especially in relation to the marginalized and exploited. His paintings reveal hidden depths beneath seemingly ordinary scenes, capturing emotional intensity against everyday backdrops.
