Michael Tsinoglou

The two-year voluntary work at a care center for children and people with disabilities (autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy, quadriplegic, etc) has been a great influence on his artistic evolvement. He was offered the opportunity to capture authentic - untainted expressions and pure feelings reflected on children’s faces, without the «mask» people need to wear every day, on his camera. Gradually, his art wanderings guided him to the visual depiction of faces on large paintings. Α «struggle» to create images that are mediated from his personal experience to a visual reshape aiming at a truthful optical dialogue between the beholder and the painting.
