About The Artwork

This is inspired by the pendulum movement that stands for an organized and regular oscilation. A big circle that denotes an eternity and an off-centered cross -with one of the four antenae curved- a sign of irregularity to an otherwise regular and deterministic universe. A smaller circle lies near the edge of the cardboard surface reinforcing the imbalance of the image where no rules of structure or perpsective are held. The crease of the cardboard serves as an extr axis where the smaller circle is hinged. Small stains of ink accidentaly dropped are the unexpected error that is possible to happen any time, any place... Four colour discipline, and white on white (the white upper semi-circle in the big circle, the saller circle) a tribute to Suprematism and Kazimir Malevich. Pizza package cardboard, torn by hand, a humble material recycled as a work of art. Even the simplest thing in this world has its own dignity, it has the right to live, be loved and inspire or influence.

I am a self-taught artist, based in Thessaloniki and active for the last +50 years. Having started with figurative art, I have been through various styles over the years, Impressionism, Surrealism, Byzantine Iconography, Suprematism, Constructivism. Following a steady course towards abstraction. Lately, and after a geometric period, I am experimenting in an even more abstract style that involves liquid acrylic pigment poured over a surface - preferably package paper- and free intermixing of the colours with flow lines formation, often exceeding the painting surface bounds. Mainly inspired by Phenomenology and the ideas of how consciousness functions, my current work can be characterized free and abstract with no use of brushes or other painting tools. The flow of the liquid colours denote the continuous flow of the outer stimuli of the human consciousness, represents the creation of the cerebral time and tries to access pre-consciousness human stages. The images substitute the language and help experience a mystical way to approaching answers to questions dilemmatic, tricky, or bearing no answers at all! My influences include Kazimir Malevich and Lyubov Popova, Byzantine icons, Giorgio Morandi, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, the brothers Limbourg, the architects Georgii Krutikov, Mies van der Rohe, Aldo Rossi, Lazar Khidekel, Iakov Chernikov and also, the Japanese culture and its insights like Wabi-Sabi or Suiseki and ceremonial practices like Chanoyu. Finally a big influence is Jazz music, and the atonal music of Iannis Xenakis.
