St. Simeon's vision Print

Throughout my education I studied the expression of Romanesque and Byzantine style and from it’s weightless and deeply symbolic language I ever find inspiration. In my world we all exist together, visible with the invisible, living with deceased, past with present, bodies with bodiless, plants with saints, sun with stars… Balanced fluently like a poem. In love with the phenomenon how a disclaimed thing can fit in something so beautifully, how it can ressurrect within the right surrounding, I try to make art that includes garbage. I find this words of Odysseas Elytis, Nobel prise winner poet, sums the aim of my art: "I consider /art/ a source of innocence full of revolutionary forces. It is my mission to direct these forces against a world my conscience cannot accept, precisely so as to bring that world through continual metamorphoses more in harmony with my dreams. It is for this reason that I believe, to the point of idealism, that I am moving in a direction which has never been attempted until now. In the hope of obtaining a freedom from all constraints and the justice which could be identified with absolute light, I am an idolater who, without wanting to do so, arrives at Christian sainthood."
