George Pafitis

“Experimentation with materials, textures, techniques and ideas is the inspiration for my work. Many of my sculptures may have nothing to do with each other. However, they share my inspiration in Greek mythology. I am thrilled by the process of studying these myths and the deciphering of the moral lessons that are being judged, and I am more excited by the accuracy with which these lessons are applied in modern times. Through my sculptures I try to bring back these past and present values that we have forgotten.”
My work explores the three dimensions and printing. Recyclable materials and metals form the basis of my 'JunkArt' sculptures, while engraving is also an important part of my work too.
