About The Artwork

According to Phenomenology, consciousness produces impressions for the stimuli it detecs. Each impression stands for a concept, an idea, a meaning... The difference between black and white is that white blurs meanings, forms and visible entities while black enforces contrast and helps distinguish items, shapes, ideas. Therefore black offers information and white hides information. Following this idea, consciousness' initial status contains no information at all- namely, it is white- and during the complicated process of conception of ideas, views and shapes builds up a system of inormations -namely becomes black. When consciousness has "translated" the universe-or what it considers as universe (finite)- in terms of information and its entropy reaches its maximum turns totally black. However, the system it built has turned infinite, therefore it is no system anymore and the whole structure collapses. Instantly it turns white with 0 entropy and 0 information. Here is a study how the black turns white and whether there is a grey in between... Theoritically it shouldn't. Actually it is the same colour interpreted by consciousness in two different ways. In the first case, with the consciousness fully developed and full of ideas and information, it is conceived as and named "black". In the second, with a consciousness completely ignorant and empty it is "white". However, painting does not lie! the creation of grey is that little proportion of unexpected randomness that no consciousness can explain, that gets things out of determinism. Indeed, grey represents this Randomness...

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.
