In the photo collections included here, the realistic rendering of the landscapes was never my goal, nor my priority. My effort has always had either a memory-like character or a dreamlike one.

Commemorative in the sense of a moment experienced in the past clouded by the dust of Time.

Many images attempt to capture a narrative memory from others as shaped by the imagination. Imagination often adds a veil of color to the scene in an attempt to recreate the historical time of the narrative. Dreamy as faint impressions of a morning when awakening is not yet sufficient.

Most of the images in this site are initially conceived and created later, prompted by the nature of light, at that particular moment, when the place, nature or scene appears before my eyes.

The theme is defined by the sea or more generally the presence of water, the Greek land and the Greek summer. The style moves initially from a strong color mood enriched with more abstract elements to a cleaner but usually calmer depiction of landscape/time.

The essence I am trying to emphasize throughout (despite the fact that the subject is almost always space/place) is Time. The Time that does not linger. As the most just law of the intellect of “God” upon the beings who experience it.

I wonder sometimes, heretical, if Time is God itself. The photograph is therefore a “temporal anomaly”, a fluctuation of the void that paradoxically gives rise to order. It overturns the irretrievable, the lifeless of the moment and can preserve it eternally, relive in a way, the inescapability of the world’s one-way flow.
