My Art: Human existence through the redefinition of, icons, words, symbols and values! Within my style, I want to redefine the meaning, the existence and the presence of the icons, words and symbols, opening a dialogue through our entity, nature and the configuration of humanity. Icons illustrate their space in a new dimension and , words are independent clauses and paragraphs, baring their meaning showing what is hiding behind them, also symbols misinterpret their explanation with the centre of all these, The Human.... Words are the connected links of two or more meanings, of two or more explanations and messages. My Icons remaping their appearance, accompanied by the words and in the same time happening the opposite, showing them in a different progress, in a different existence, in a different , redefine, reproduce and regenerate their value. The viewer who is looking at my work, I want to get into the philosophy of my art and conceptualize more in the hidden messages. At the same time the of my creations having an obvious message keeping the secret combinations of the visible and the unvisible. My aim at the same time is to give a new and fresh interpetation at our urban world and outside of it. Also to bring in , the nowadays use, of them. (Icons, words, symbols, e.t.c.). The words my works are not represent just the title of the works, are the continuation of the pictures... My works through their philodophy, as an Art Historian in a Greek University and also a good friend, says, are gloomy, ascribe them in a cynic way... Within my expression style, negotiate, in a way, the submission of all the I consume at my personal and social life, bringing them on the front again through my idiosyncrasy. At my Neon Lights creations, words become phrases and I want to show at the surface, all their hidden messages. At the end, my unique visual language and innovative art - philosophy recharge any particular semiology, my creations affected by the nowadays culture and ending in a contemporary diachronic value, focusing mainly on the concerns of all people worldwide...
