Walking around art exhibitions, we often feel a nostalgia for the older painters. The dissolution of the form, the postmodern and the quests, the various constructions have their charm, but they are lost, except in exceptional cases, in an impersonal fate, in the memory of none.
A genuine Greek painting, derived from folk tradition, Byzantine austerity, ancient Greek beauty and musicality, is the painting by Giorgos Sikeliotis (1917-1984). Connected deeply to his personal experiences, with no traces of academic studies, he proceeds honestly, conceals himself in warm colors, attaches the dimensions to the bodies and faces, speaking an earthly universality.
