"TORSO"

The idea behind the conception of this work draws its inspiration from the torso of an ancient statue salvaged from the Antikythera wreck. The work consists of two separate and interlocking segments molded together. The gap separating them alludes to the spine of the male figure. The intensity of the sculptural synthesis is concentrated in the split line of the composite torso. In a land full of relevant allusions, the question of how tradition may inform a contemporary composition is raised relentlessly.

"CUBE"

The idea for this work came from a mosaic representing a cube in the Thessaloniki Byzantine Museum. It depicts the solid in the Byzantine conventional manner, a solid devoid of perspective belonging to a tradition of pictorial representation rooted in a different perception of space and time. The cube motif is reproduced in variations, referring to its Byzantine origin in alternate ways.
