Artist Statement:
For me, doing art is a
meditation and an affirmation
of life, that lifts me above
the problems of everyday. My
passion for colors let me take
the artist-name "Chromosoph"
(greek for "Color-Lover" or
"Color-Thinker") I started as
a realistic painter. Now I'm a
figurative painter but I love
the infinite freedom of
abstractions... so most of my
art is "figurative
abstraction"
My artistic influences are
based in the art of the early
impressionists, the "School of
Barbazon". Like the work of
those artists, I explore the
space between realistic and
abstract art - in a rich and
diverse stylistic texture.

Oct. 2005: Celebration of my mother's 80th birthday. The laudatory speaker asked her: "Here are 64 of your relatives, is there anything else they can do for you or do you have a special request?"
and she answered: "Yes, but it's only one thing I'm wishing with all my heart: that I can visit again exhibitions showing the paintings of my elder son."
Her wish was my command! After almost 10 years of absence I tried to get in contact with curators, art managers and gallerists, started preliminary works,
but
