Blood Moon Eclipse July 2018
I didn’t really expect it to be as stunning as it was…. just how beautiful and grounding the sight of the moon turning blood red and for such a length of time. The light played on the perimeter of the moon giving it a 3-dimensional aspect rather than the regular flat white of a full moon that we are used to seeing.
Making of ‘Playing with my Demons’ – timelapse video
My latest artwork involving mixed media on wood with pyrography, to which I gave the title of “Playing with my Demons”.
‘The Gift’ – an illustration of Athena and Poseidon
My latest pyrography artwork, ‘The Gift’, (completed just before Christmas) was created in cooperation with children’s book author Mrs Yota Kotsauti at Ένα κείμενο, μία εικόνα to illustrate the story of the Greek gods Athena and Poseidon and the gift each of them gave to the Athenians competing for the city’s favor. It was a super opportunity for me as I’ve long wanted to try my hand -and imagination- at illustrating a story and in particular a subject which I love, Greek mythology!
An intuitive abstract painting that pushed my boundaries
While taking an indefinite break from working on wood with pyrography I felt a nudge -or maybe more of a growling push- to do something a bit abstract. To just play with some colours on canvas.
A daily reminder
A dear friend of mine sent me this beautiful quote from a Greek blog, written by Stefanos Xenakis. It's so simple, beautiful and true that I had to translate and share here, both for you and for me to refer to as often as necessary....
