Chronos
(Time), Hydor (Water) and Mneme (Memory) are integral components of my
imagery. My visual language and inspiration are derived from the essence
of change and mood of the seas & skies and their intimate relationship
with the horizon. Focusing on the memory of the image than rather the
image itself, I explore the essence of a single moment and its relationship
with time,space and serenity, giving the viewer a glimpse into a world
offering emotional solace.
Born at the foothills
of Mt Pelion on the east coast of Greece, my work has assumed a fundamental
association with the most formative memories of my childhood." As
a child I would sit for hours breathing the essence of the sea feasting
my eyes on infinite horizons where mysteries and apprehensions, hope &
beliefs would make my mind wonder, seeking the solace of a new beginning....."
I relay my emotions
and experiences on to canvas with a rhythmic and energetic yet serene
manner, exploring and experimenting with texture and media creating a
contemporary and abstract representation of seascapes & endless horizons.
Going beyond mere nostalgia but encouraging the viewer to share the sentiment
and theme of the painting while allowing them to create their own level
of intimacy with the image according to their emotions and memories. |
