Grammatopoulos usually drew his subject from the world of mythology and, above all, from the Greek landscape by giving us, as the director of the National Gallery Marina Lambraki-Plaka writes, an “original version of the modern Greek landscape”, from which is left “only by the distillation of sensation, emotion, denatured in abstract lines, rhythms and colors”. The skill with which Grammatopoulos handled the light through the white color gives the compositions a dramatic but also a metaphysical dimension that balances the “calmness” which, according to the theorists of art, runs through all his work.
