ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I took the portrait of this old woman in Monastiraki, Athens downtown, just a walk from the central Athens Syntagma square where the Parliament resides. She was looking into a garbage can for food. I gave her something to eat, and I could see (you can..) the pain in her eyes, but she somehow still had a hint of a smile on her face. They say that we can measure the advancement of a society's civilization by how one treats the elderly. If that is the case, maybe the Eurozone should be abolished. While the Greece's Northern European creditors enjoy prosperity, Greece and the South suffer in the name of the "European Union". About 1/3 of Greek people are facing poverty, however Greece is obliged to pay monthly credit installments to it's fellow Union countries. -------------------- Your print will be produced to the highest standards, proofed, checked and packed rolled in a tube sent by courier.

Greek artist. Spyros Agrianitis (LightStories) was born in Athens. Studied photography and art history in the UK and Greece. "I celebrate the irony of life through my art. It is the irony of colors, of spaces, of feelings, of moments never to come again. There is no predictability, no control.. only the NOW. I celebrate the Now, the only moment there is, through my clicks.. But I put my own filter to the moment through my time in the dark room. My influence from my early days of painting turns most of my images picturesque, and thus the work portfolio is controversial. Instead of adapting all images to one style of "me", I prefer to treat each image uniquely, as it deserves, taking a different path each time. The completion of magic which starts form the moment I raise my camera to the eye, and ends with the final hours in post processing. It is the last moment when you feel it is "all" complete, that you do not need to touch the picture any more... and maybe this was my original fantasy, my original dream..." Since 1993 I have shot quite a number of celebrities, fashion models, designers, and well known artists around the world.
