"Icons have been a real source of inspiration to me: their almost pure richness of color, their apocalyptic design, strengthened my desire to paint."
Alekos Fassianos is a Greek artist whose works, imbued with poetry and dreams, transcribe the contemporary world through the prism of mythology. His tales are articulated around a Mediterranean theme in ocher and bluish tones. The critic Gérard Xuriguera elaborates: "His opulent Venuses, bathed in the Mediterranean sun, tell us about his country, the touching ease of a peaceful and joyful existence that escapes into the marvelous". The art of Fassianos, delicate and luminous, is an invitation to travel and dream.
