Rambling Starlight
Rambling Starlight (Redemption of Christ), 2024
Oil, acrylic, and chalk paint on canvas
150 x 150 cm
Like a haiku in paint—three abstract gestures: a star, a moon, a figure. And what of the fragile moment before transformation—when a forgotten dream might take flight again? In this cosmic reverie, we finally meet.

Hermes /Apollo
Hermes (Column on the Move) 2025
Wood, gesso
Hermes Encounters Apollo (Monument to Movement) 2025
Wood, hardboard, chalk paint
Apollo lays down grids, boundaries, and monuments—he founds cities, maps territories, and calls it civilization. Hermes slips through the cracks, carrying messages, inventing detours, refusing to stay still. Their meeting is a reminder that politics is always torn between the urge to stabilize and the need to flow, between walls and pathways, between control and freedom.
Ο Απόλλωνας χαράζει πλέγματα, όρια και μνημεία, ιδρυει πόλεις, χαρτογραφεί τόπους. Ο Ερμής γλιστρά μέσα από τις χαραμάδες, μεταφέρει μηνύματα, εφευρίσκει παρακάμψεις και δεν μένει ποτέ ακίνητος. Η συνάντησή τους θυμίζει ότι η πολιτική είναι πάντα διχασμένη: ανάμεσα στην ανάγκη για σταθερότητα και στην ανάγκη για ροή, ανάμεσα σε τοίχους και μονοπάτια, ανάμεσα στον έλεγχο και την ελευθερία
