Visiting
Athens for four weeks and wandering around the many archeological sites and various museums has certainly stirred-up my creative thoughts – and during this
time I have been working on a couple of “at-home-art-projects” … one of which
is titled “Greek Creation” …
The
title is taken from a 1950s magazine of the same name; the pages from which I
used in the composition of this miniature piece – measuring 150 x 150 x 150 mm.
I
was inspired by the ancient Greek architecture in Athens revealing stories and
tales from a time long ago. If only the marble could talk and tell us of the
hopes and aspirations and the trials and hardships of those artisans who gave
so much to the glory of Greece.
Not
wanting to carry my two major artworks
( Greek Creation and Hidden Stories (
from my stay in Budapest ))
around with me from city to city, I approached the
Gallery Director of a small & brand new gallery attached to a major book store
in Athens
to see if she would be interested in exhibiting them.
To my joy, she
was.
So now I can boast that I
am being exhibited in Athens, Greece … !!! …
