Art is called upon to reflect and strengthen the experience of the viewer in a world that is created in between. The real and the imaginary. It is an effort to create something that raises questions and pushes the limits, similar to a journey to the end of the night.
The world we build through our work deals with the real and the imaginary; two worlds that are different thus creating an anticipated contrast (so the contrasts are a given).
Born in 1987 in Thessaloniki. Admitted to the academic year 2014/15 in the Department of Fine and Applied Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Studied art under the guidance of Georgios Skylogiannis, Christos Venetis, and Evangelia Nomidou in the 2nd painting workshop. In the winter semester of 2017/18, he received a scholarship and attended courses at the University of Arts Poznan in Poland.
One of the challenges I faced during the creation of our project was connecting the realistic aspect of our work with the imaginary.
The realistic aspect is reflected through the architectural elements, which also served as a way of mapping Skyros.
The imaginary element on the other hand, is depicted in the drawings.
This combination resulted in the birth of something new which delicately balances between these two ‘worlds’.
Usually when I create an artwork, I begin by developing the core idea.
Before the idea there is space, space is not static nor is it determined, therefore space is free.
The challenge was to attempt to convey, through our paintings the feelings evoked in us by a photographic survey of Skyros.
