ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Gardens is a series of existing and future artworks that I am working on under the concept of the new worlds. Wallpaper is a ready-made painting. I paint over it keeping some parts of the existing illustration . The viewer will hardly distinguish where the painting of the wallpaper ends and where my painting intervention starts. The core of my project is the idea of experimenting in the processes of perception. Nothing is as it seems, nothing is for granted. Worlds of transience where subjects, objects, and territories live states of continuous transformation and facing surprisingly their potential renaissance, creation, evolution, dissolution and disappearance. This juxtaposition highlights the contingent and transient nature of life that structure our daily experience, where a random incident can penetrate anytime and change the flow of things. In certain way these "Gardens" constitutes "other worlds" made up from slices of unexpected which is visually reflected in the selection of the diversity of images. It is a reaction against the prevailing values and structures of society. A romantic refusal of that 'sense of reality' which strives to invade and control the personal sphere of emotions. Through the use, of a language half-rooted in the sub-conscious imagery of symbols, dreams and myth, and half-rooted in the outer world of impressions, science, nanotechnology, physics, mathematics, architecture, chemistry, biology and anatomy, I attempt to achieve a 'non-sense' and an incoherence that leads to the entire exploration of the inner sense and the substance. A poetic transformation of the world into a spiritual world, where everything is combined and related. Human achievements, researches, observations and knowledge that grows and flourish from nature. My desire is to go beyond the values of current morality, to return to innocence and create a world independent of any logic or principle. The selective and individualized point of views will provide stimuli for personal mythologies and diversity of interpretation and meaning.

. I have a dual identity as an artist and indipendent curator. I am the owner of the alternative project space Zoi’s and occasionally work as an art tutor in several institutions. I was employee of the Exhibition Department of Glasgow School of Art and the Contemporary Art space Tramway (Glasgow-Scotland). I was part of the Reconstruction Community, a platform initiated by a group of art theorists and historians, architects, sociologists and artists. The starting point had been the rethinking of the actual scene of Athens as a contemporary metropolis. Curatorials: Trauma Queen, Athens, Greece. Transleat me, Athens, Greece. Who cares about Greek art?, Athens, Greece. Trash Art, Athens, Greece. Guest curator On Books and Translation, 98 Weeks project space, Beirut, Lebanon.
