the ballerina 70x50cm



... I am back... I finished with all the moving around and now from the beautiful Thessaloniki - the bride of Thermaikos - this is my latest painting...

It is a fuzzy warm feeling being back in Greece... I am so glad to be back that I have yet to discover something, anything, annoying! I 'm home!![A.R.S.]

the goldfish's kiss 90x70cm



... farewell to Hamburg..., I am about to move back Home, back to Greece. Back to stay!

I am neither happy, nor sad;

I am both happy, and sad;

I do not know, really

and

another thing I do not know is how exactly the way I feel affects my paintings and effects on them...

This is the last painting I am painting here, in Hamburg. Here where I actually started this blog 1.5 years ago!!

My next post will be sent into the ether from further south.

... farewell to Hamburg...[A.R.]

shades of blue 60x50cm



shades of blue...

seas of blue disrupted by white foamy lines...

it is a flag hiding between the lines,

it is the livelihood of a nation,

it is the pride of a seafaring's son mother!

...

it is a story that started long, long ago in the mist of ancient times,

a story bold and beautiful but also sad and true...

a story - history that charges the hearts of men, of those men calling it their own,

filling them with energy... begging for the right medium to be released!

the time shall come...[I.R.S.]

the dancer 50x60cm




"Beauty and truth are usually more charming unveiled!" was the beginning of the description of my other nude "Unveiled 80x30cm", and thinking for a title for this one the word unveilled ... made me think of the "dance of veils", made me think of Salome... Yet the historic anchor-point was not to my liking as well as the fact that while painting I thought of nothing the like... In the end it's just a dancer! This again made me think of Tina Turner's "private dancer"... I'm a mess, I feel awkward with nude, I guess, although they are beautiful!... Anyway, so, I present to you "The Dancer".[A.R.]

marine boy 50x60cm



Imagination is a powerful thing, I often watch my little-one preparing to go to sleep and choosing one of his toys, a different one every evening, to keep him company. I guess he is sculpting his dreams that way; when he wakes in the morning he is still holding the toy and if not the first thing he does, still half asleep, is to retrieve it from the blankets.

Yesterday he went to sleep with a little whale on his pillow ... this is a capture thereof.[A.R.]

Marine girl 50x60cm


Sometimes Surrealism is needed in life, dreaming of things we like or live in our own world, helps you escape reality and all these stressful rules......sometimes taking a brake and live like a kid makes you feel alive [A.R.]
