More info to follow:

ENA MATI - ONE-EYE
Acrylic on canvas, 51 x 41 cm

ONE EYE is my gesture of respect for the legacy left by Greece to the history of art. I also created it to demonstrate the golden thread that remained throughout the changes that took place over time.

METAMORPHOSIS when applied to art can be argued- is not lineal. Great work, insights, developments are not guaranteed into the future. Yes we are handed the baton’, but if we do not look back, marvel, ponder and learn from the ones who started the race we are poorer for it I think.

From the earliest expressions of the human figure, Greek artists have 'passed the baton' on to the next generation of artists.

As I painted it I recalled what I had learnt about painters from the pinnacle classical period of ancient Greece. Artefacts were all lost apart from written accounts by their peers. The only visual examples were of what survived in later centuries in the form of frescoes, and by the work of Greek painters in Roman times, who were the descendants from those traditions.

Through lines, shapes and particularly the constant witness: the benevolent 'EYE', this painting represents some the great movements in art and cultural milestones in Greece's history. For this artwork I chose : CYCLADIC, CLASSICAL, ARCHAIC, FAYOUM (Roman-Egyptian) BYZANTINE (Cretan school) ,YIANNIS TSAROUCHIS ALECOS FASSIANOS (Both great modern Greek artists who studied at the Athens School of Art and left their mark on me ) AND MINOAN CULTURE.

I have also included my own stylised black and white owl in the painting ,which is a copy from an old artwork, to indicate my personal recognition and respect for the impact and vitality that the artistic heritage of my homeland has on my work

ON THE SPOT created an extra frame on the wall because one of the students presented me with a freshly created canvas painting to add!!

couldn't see an empty frame to insert it in so ..last minute! while VIPs and others gathered waited...I got the paints out (well actually the principal and a couple of students raced out to the art room where my left over paints were stored) and was handed some brushes to create a new one and picked a spot on the wall that could fit another work

Missing a large brush I improvised cutting with my hands a piece of cardboard from the paint box and folded it to create a spatula. I quickly spread a square of yellow as a base for a frame ..and defined it with the smaller brushes..added stickon Velcro and attached the students new painting ...DA+DA!!!!

Demonstration also added to the event! Gorgeous Thalia very proud and super cool to do that for her with everyone there

Then we posed for photos and drank tea and coffee and had cake!!!
