A STATE OF MIND Painting

I was born in Kalamata, Greece, but moved to Britain in my teens where I was educated and worked as theatre designer in British repertory theatres. I lived in the UK mainly London for many years, but now I live in Athens Greece, dedicated to the Arts, painting and poetry. I consider painting a science delving deep into the unknown bringing to light truths not conceived by the ordinary mind. The painter is a poet, a creator and my paintings comprise music and poetry. Like a music composer composes music, I compose colours and shapes and my paintings are often poetic allegories delivering a message to the spectator. I think painting should have a message to deliver, often a strong one. I draw my inspiration from Cosmos in its wide sense but often social and political matters are my concern which I am trying to convey in my paintings.
