"Salvation II" (Indigo seas #2) Painting

I was born in 1975 in Athens, the capital of Greece.I am married with two kids. I work as a Wholesales manager for a domestic athleisure apparel brand with exports www.bodyaction.gr for more than 13 years. I am a specialist in the field of Athletic apparel & shoes and in street/urban Fashion, Sneakers, Hyper beast products with more than 23 years of experience. I've worked for many global brands such as Nike, Puma, Lotto among others. P.r-Marketing-B.t.l adv-Social media knowledge. Music, Reading, Photography, Movies, Politics, and writing are also some of my interests. My passion undoubtedly is painting! My artwork has always been characterized as controversial, emotional, obsessional, with hidden meanings, Dark. Through my art, I am trying to express my inner thoughts. Perhaps that's the reason I don't really like to sell my art... is like selling fragments of me. I have studied for many years the history of art and contemporary art and I'm an Art fan. I always try to paint most of my Artworks in one sit most of the time "Alla prima" (or wet-on-wet technique) and many times i use all kinds of materials and mediums. I can paint with Oils/Pencil/Chalk/Acrylic/Enamel/watercolor/ink etc. In my artworks, as you will notice I use materials like Sand, Rusted Copper and Steel cuts mixed media in general. Oils pigments for sure are my favorite medium. Indigo blue pigment is my favorite and you can see it in most of my Artwork. I normally use Linen canvas with a rough surface primed only with transparent rabbit-glue. Painting for me is like self-punishment is a relation between struggling and achievement in an eternal fight. My artwork was appreciated and accepted over the last 8 years. All these years, I was commissioned to produce: Album Covers, Fairy-tales, Portraits, Landscapes, Abstract art, Tattoo drawings, Murals, T-shirt prints, etc. My artwork has also traveled out of borders. New York, London, Sydney, and all over Greece in private collections or commissioned works.
