Hellas 1984.10 60 x 60, oil on canvas |
My love for Greece, to which I gave my contribution
also as an architect, doesn’t require any comment. See computer elaborations 2005 See also: A Poetry for the City / Athena |

Athena 1984.10 80 x 60, oil on canvas Click detail |
In many paintings a divine personage, the Self,
appears behind a human being. In this case, on the contrary, there is a
shining god in the front, while the real person stands on the back. In both
cases, however, the person is winded in the darkness of the human condition.

The Sibyl (Lyda) 1984.11.07 80 x 60, oil on canvas |
In this case too, the person stands behind with her shadow,
while the shining Being is in the front. Nevertheless the latter is not
a god but the person herself that is possessed by the supernatural oracle’s power. |

The abandonment 1984.12 70 x 90, oil on canvas |
Thus reaches the end a story, when only the real person
remains, the one that is now devoid of any disguise, of any illusion. See also: Smili 1984.04 |
