EIACE Painting

My name is Dimitris Bakopanos is an artist of Greek origin artistically grown in Italy. In Bologna, where I live for many years, I have exhibited my works, personally taking care of the preparation of exhibitions against the backdrop of exclusive frames: Medieval historical places such as villas, castles, inner courtyards but also natural parks but also private luxury houses in which the classic and contemporary style of my works are combined with the environment in which they are exposed, also creating a design in perfect modern and classic style. The classical subject is at the center of Dimitris Bakopanos works, a clear call back to his origins his own humanistic formation, which since the youth undergoes ancient Greece art and culture. From here the demand to set up a dialogue with the value expressed by thet culture, assumed as timeless reference points and reworked through his personal artistic interpretation. So his works arise, fragments of faces and bodies and architectures also, painted on pull up and imperfect canvases to point out the ticking of time, which inexorably corrupts the handmade articles, but not at all can towards the immutable human spirit feeling. His subjects emerge from indeterminate and metaphysical backgrounds to stare the ones that look back at them, communicating at the same time sweetness and energy, nostalgia and rigour. No way to refuse their invitation to recover our cultural matrix, at the dialogue with our own interiority in which collective memory settled human dimension values.
