… it comes this point in life that paths are crossed with roads and concepts are intersect with perceptions … where feelings are induced by needs … and wants are defined by circumstances …
… it comes this point in life that biomes, experiences and dreams ask to change directions … ask to experiment towards a new reality … and thus create a new momentum … when sections built a conversation with intersections …
… my whole life I’ve been consciously recording images … images of everyday life, places, expressions, moments, thus time … and if I was asked to give one word to delineate time it would be “fthora” a beautiful Greek word for decay, wear, attrition spoilage, dilapidation, all very updated issues, and yet closely linked with the past … to the history of things to me fthora is the evidence of time on materials … in a way it is the nature’s “painting” that happens by chance … this magic feeling of fthora’s perception I try to result in my work.
… I photograph, I print, I draw, I construct, I write … a feeling totally given to a feverish experimentation … I filter the world through my soul searches and transform my dreams and passions to a visible reality …
… writing and scripture, always played and still do, a very important role in my work so I am writing with paper and I draw with print … Ι incorporate trivial unexpected objects and bits and pieces of my everyday life to give a personal meaning to my work, thus I create a familiar environment where I can testify my soul and with a gestural approach I am happy to communicate my equilibrium …
