ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Now, beginning of 2022, I am investigating the colours and how they affect consciousness. Inspired by Wittgenstein. The way they help create memories and the way they affect recovery of memories over the years. Their contribution to the subjective sense of cerebral time. The liquid paints pouring on the paper surface, flowing and creating lines, curves, shapes. They dodge obstacles, they gather in basins. The way the world flows. Without words or logic. The consciousness emerges slowly, watches the paints flow and organizes. A step prior to conceiving geometric shapes. Basic colours that intermix and create new hues. A world in creation. A palimpsest of colours, painted again and again. A never ending creation open to mistakes, accidents, unexpected interventions. A repetition that implies the idea of time - on a 2D surface,instant and eternal. Let's follow the flow of the colours without any prejudice or worry.

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.
