ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A wedge-like move penetrates a round shape, roundness denoting flatness/calmness/entropy. Entropy is invaded by a - seemingly- external factor, red colour for "hot" / "active" / "creative". Now, consciousness has to get activated again and try to conceive the newcomer and re-engineer (or rejuvenate) its own universe. The deterministic-entropic universe disturbed and out of balance once again, the idea of Time is recovering.... Dynamic apex heading upwards, reminiscing the trajectory of a rocketing spaceship early '60s: The Monument to the Conquerors of Space, Moscow. The round shape, resembling a ring of Saturn, rotates around the dynamic wedge-like shape. A halo of entropy, encorporating and confining all universe info and condemning it into uselessness... the red force is changing everything and sets the universe into move again.....

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.
