Throughout the years of my work, I have realised that making art in Greece I always had nature in my side .
The sun makes all things crystal clear and the sea is all around me to teach me the beauty of change.
I find that abstraction is one of the most essential elements of my work, however when it comes to portraits of people I know I always prefer to be close to them .
When an artist shows his work to a bigger audience this is always a great chance for his career .
He finds that more people can be affected and that art is even more powerful.
The beauty of an artistic piece is that one can always carry it in his heart.
After a considerable time of misfortunes most of the people have the tendency to feel sorry for themselves and as years go by this can only be worse. In my opinion it is better to go on with one's life , be creative and assertive. Here is a painting with mixed media , of 60x60 cm.
