ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Road to the Church of Prophet Elias, Kavala, Greece, 30 x 25 cm, oil on linen, 2018 Painted on site from May through August, 2018. The uphill roads in the city-town of Kavala, the hometown of my mother, in Northern Greece (ancient Macedonia), wind their way to the church of the Prophet Elias. «Ο Δρόμος για τον Πρ. Ηλία», Καβάλα, 30 * 25, εκ. λάδι σε λινό, 2018 Ζωγραφισμένο εκ του φυσικού, Μάιος- Αύγουστος, 2018 Οι ανηφόρες στην Καβάλα, η πόλη της μητέρας μου, σε βγάζουν στον Προφήτη Ηλία. Ποίημα Δύο εἶναι οἱ δρόμοι για τὸ σπίτι, ἔνας πρός τόν Προφήτη Ἡλία. Ἀκουώ τὸ πρωΐ την καμπάνα νὰ κτύπαει, καὶ δίπλα μου ἡ Παναγία νὰ μέ ξύπναει, "Σήκω παιδί μου γλυκό ἡ μέρα σέ σένα ἁνήκει", ἁνέβα τόν δρόμο τὸ στενό καὶ τὰ ὑπόλοιπα θὰ σου τὰ πῶ. Παραθυρόφυλλα ἀνοικτά, παράθυρα στόλισμενα μὲ κεντητά, τριανταφυλλιές ανάκατεμενες με ἂνθη λεμονιάς, τηγανιτά μέ γεμιστά τῆς Γιαγιάς. Ἓνα σεντόνι ἁπλωμένο στεγνώνει καὶ ἀέρα γεμίζει∙ τὸ φουσκώνει - ἐλευθερία με θυμίζει. Μπαίνωβγαίνει ἡ θάλασσα ἁπό τὸ δωμάτιο μου τη νύχτα, ὄταν μου σιγομιλά ὸ Χρἰστός, "Σεῖς εῖστε τό ἁλάτι τῆς Γῆς, ὅπως ἀφρίζουν τά κῦματα σᾶς ἐπέλεξα∙ σᾶς ἀγάπησα ἀπό την ἀρχή. Είρθε ὄμως ἡ ὣρα νὰ κοιμηθείς, ὄπως ἀνατέλλει ὁ ἥλιος το πρωΐ θὰ ἀνάστηθείς". - ἀπό τήν Καβὰλλα, 2018

My main aspirations are creating illustrations, designing and painting for a purpose. I am continually recording my impressions of nature, people and their cultures in my work. My paintings will be on exhibit in Abu Dhabi from February, 2014. I graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York in 2008 with a degree in design for communication, and in the same year opened an art space in Southern Greece. Several exhibitions I have participated in include an environmental-awareness exhibit sponsored by the Evgenidou Foundation ("˜09), an exhibit with artists from the Middle East at the UN in Geneva ('10) and "Dreams & Think Positive" at SG Gallery in St. George Lycubittus (Nov. and Dec. "˜11). Having grown up in Saudi Arabia, I feel strongly connected with the Arab culture and use my upbringing as a reference in my work; and a Greek-American both countries' heritage provide a unlimited source of inspiration. I also work to touch peoples lives through art and culture by curating exhibitions and promoting other artists. Please contact curator@saatchiart.com for more details.
