About The Artwork

The description is the same with 220222: The new element here is the collaged paper pieces. Torn out of a previously painted paper, they stand for "patches" from the past or simply memories, that are pulled back by the consiousness as new inner stimuli. In the meantime, the outer stimuli incessantly provide consciousness with new impressions and events, outer intrusions that materialize in the form of colour flows. The colours cover and intermingle with the memories but at the same time their flows are channelled along the edges of the patches/memories. Colour flows and memories' bounds are the raw materials for consciousness to create shapes (lines, at this stage). Consciousness combines these primal shapes with the idea of succession of the impressions on their way down to the memory tank hammering this way the idea of "line". Likewise, the idea of recurrence of memories as new stimuli and their return to the depths of consciousness as new memories hatches the idea of a circular movement: the circle. Concerning the colours, white is the colour that blurs other colours, diminishing this way their information value, while black helps increase the contrast and consequently the information value. White helps impressions turn into memories and helps increase consciousness entropy. Red on the other hand, a hot colour, is the colour of new outer stimuli, invading consciousness and decreasing entropy. Thermodynamic reaction.

I am a self-taught artist, based in Thessaloniki and active for the last +50 years. Having started with figurative art, I have been through various styles over the years, Impressionism, Surrealism, Byzantine Iconography, Suprematism, Constructivism. Following a steady course towards abstraction. Lately, and after a geometric period, I am experimenting in an even more abstract style that involves liquid acrylic pigment poured over a surface - preferably package paper- and free intermixing of the colours with flow lines formation, often exceeding the painting surface bounds. Mainly inspired by Phenomenology and the ideas of how consciousness functions, my current work can be characterized free and abstract with no use of brushes or other painting tools. The flow of the liquid colours denote the continuous flow of the outer stimuli of the human consciousness, represents the creation of the cerebral time and tries to access pre-consciousness human stages. The images substitute the language and help experience a mystical way to approaching answers to questions dilemmatic, tricky, or bearing no answers at all! My influences include Kazimir Malevich and Lyubov Popova, Byzantine icons, Giorgio Morandi, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, the brothers Limbourg, the architects Georgii Krutikov, Mies van der Rohe, Aldo Rossi, Lazar Khidekel, Iakov Chernikov and also, the Japanese culture and its insights like Wabi-Sabi or Suiseki and ceremonial practices like Chanoyu. Finally a big influence is Jazz music, and the atonal music of Iannis Xenakis.
