Series of paintings inspired and created in Kefalonia .
landscapes of the island where human presence is only slightly apparent through human constructions (roads, boats, wells, etc.) .
The artist seeks to isolate the experience that one may get when staring at natural scenery of Kefalonia . Although Kefalonia is an island where water as an element prevails, these works are not only oriented to the seascapes. They also intend to express the statement of unity between water and land, human existence and nature and to indicate the feelings of completion, harmony and mystery as well as the metaphysical energy that arises from Kefalonian land as a whole.
