After a notable carrier <strong>as a journalist and progressive publisher<\/strong>, he has now chosen <strong>painting as a path to the creation of an innovative, pictorial language, which has been the result, not only of his studious interest in masterpieces, exhibited in museums around the world, but also of his close, personal contact with renowned personalities of the world of art<\/strong>. Placing the human being in the center of his work, he uses poetic surrealism to create a unique imagery of a fantasy world.<span id=\"more-1424\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lalas, through his visual art, which in many instances integrates with written speech, recounts the inner processes and diverse realities of human existence. <strong>Placing emphasis \u03bfn clear lines, he creates flat-colored surfaces, using black outlines to give us grotesque figures with waving movement and chromatic intensity, presented on big or small canvasses, on his characteristic sculptures, on restaurant tablecloths, doors, walls or any other utility object.<\/strong> His unique compositions are full of passion, fantasy, exuberance, irony and humor. To him, genuineness of expression is the highest artistic goal, since: \u201cWhen you do things passionately, right through your soul, you create culture\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h04vG9RuXWA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanassis Lalas was born in Athens, in 19\u2026 and he is currently spending his time between Athens, Paris and Miami.
