Arteni has extensively exhibited calligraphies and paintings throughout Europe, the United States, and in Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan. In recent years, he has lectured on and demonstrated calligraphy (Greek, Sanskrit, Chinese, and Japanese). Rooted in Southeast European, Western and East Asian spirituality, he now concentrates his research on the pictorial fact and procedural switches between formal contextures, the ludic ritual act of the performance event that creates a form-space, art communication as a high-context process, the mereotopology of formal constructs, metacultural sensibility and complexity theory, and the complementarity of painting and calligraphy. Arteni has been awarded in 2005 the highest rank, SHIHAN (Master Teacher), by The Japan Calligraphy Art Association.Arteni proposes a poly-contextural stylistic matrix,the transclassic operational interplay of a heterarchy of coexisting complementary artistic domains and formal systems, a simultaneous plurality of interwoven recursive and permutative differences which revels in the freedom of a horizonal in-between transcending untranslatable knots - a polyphonic monologue.The West, the Byzantine East, the Far East The form of the form.
