ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In the “Upcycled Materials” series the goal was to create works in which repurposed scrap materials would be utilised. In this adventure Nikolas came across 20th century wood flooring, metal - remains of a construction sight , cordage and metal chains in the old shipyard of the Greek island of Spetses. These materials are something more than a simple material they bear their own history of use, of utility, of human craft, of time , of becoming rotten obsolete even of waiting of being used again , revived within a cycle of time. And these works become a part of this cycle , of this continuity by trying to extract newborn forms .

Nikolas is a Greek sculptor working mainly in bronze, but also wood and marble. His passion for sculpture stems from his fascination with the sculpting process. According to the artist: "It is the constantly present challenges, when I harness hard materials, that push me to explore new methods and techniques, in my effort to realise my ideas in small, medium and large scale". He also uses various patinas on his sculptures, "as an experiment of understanding how the same work may be perceived by the viewer in different ways". His work is influenced by the countries from the four continents in which he has lived in throughout his life. "Wherever I travel, I always absorb and process how people interact with their world, especially in places outside the Western canon of living and thinking", says the artist. That is why, apart from history and mythology, elements from indigenous peoples are often incorporated in his sculptures. "I believe that even more than technology, art sparks the imagination and makes you think outside the box": Nikolas is deeply concerned about the position of the human race in a future defined by machine learning and our co-existence with androids and cyborgs. His work is, therefore, an expression of his beliefs and feelings for the future of humanity.
