About The Artwork
The colours involved here are cobalt blue, ivory white, black, yellow. The sequence they were applied in is: white, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue mixed with yellow (not green), black. The flow of the paints is diagonal. The flow lines resemble the diagonal praised by modernists for its dynamism. Still, and although this is not a work of modern art, the dynamism of the diagonal flow lines is obvious. In the series of the "blue" works ("Tangled Up in Blue") the paints are denser, not intermixing as easy and fast as in other works. Actually, white is the densest, and then black and ultramarine blue. The latter is the less dense so it flows easier and overlapping the other paints. The density of the paints "adds" to the faktura (a loan from the Russian Constructivism!) of the painting. The creases of the package paper remain and along with the clots of paint, white mainly, create the sense of a relief. Once again the paints flow outside the paper, unstoppable, eternally flowing to unknown destinations yet to be conquered by consciousness.

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.
