About The Artwork

Three colours used here: black, ivory white, cobalt blue. All applied in different areas of the paper, then the surface was inclined thus the paints flow and intermix. No colour first or last but all applied simultaneously. Dense paints, so the flow lines of each colour remain after the mix even as very thin threads. This way the painting acquires many details, concerning the flow of the paints. In this painting the flow deploys along the bigger horizontal side of the paper surface and diagonally downwards. Some less dense paint escapes from the main body of colours and forms its own track on the paper. The density of the paints helps create a more distinct faktura. The creator's -and spectator's - consciouness watches the flow and slowly forms the concept of space and the concept of time. The surface stands for the "eternal", it is a no-space and consequently, it stands for no-time, in fact it is a pure nothing and out of it emerges consciousness. Consciousness is the intermixing colours themselves that flow and expand to every possible direction (which is another concept coined by the consciousness following the formation of "space" ).

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.
