“An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.” Chinese Proverb
‘Sweet love myths like this one appear in many cultures around the world. In East Asian legend, red strings are tied to the pinky finger of one person and the pointer finger of another. The red cord legend is similar to the Western concept of a soulmate. For some, the word ‘fate’ may evoke a sense of fear, as though we have no control over the person we’ll meet and fall in love with. Do we really choose who we love, or is it destiny? I propose that it’s both. Love can sweep us off our feet in an instant, and our vibration can attract that of another without speaking a single word. Eyes can make a connection across the room, and words on a computer screen can spark a flame. But, even if you’re experiencing a surge of love and lust, you’ll need to make moves in order to determine if you’ve found your Red String of Fate. So, how do you figure out which spark will lead you to your soulmate, and which one will fizzle out? First, you have to believe in love. It takes courage to go after the love you desire, but remember that you exude energy, and when you put that energy into finding your soulmate, things start to happen. Focus your energy on the kind of love you want and the laws of quantum physics will kick in to help you find it.’

Original small scale sculptural art made with concrete artist plaster pouring in the back side of the canvas.
IN GENERAL
I started experimenting with plaster while studying Interior architecture at School of Applied Arts and Culture, as a part of the Plastic arts course. One day while working on a different project, I randomly poured leftover gypsum in the back side of the canvas and it was one of the happy accidents that gave me my art style. And I am still evolving.
My focus is to explore the concept of composition in three dimensional space: using only one main material but different techniques, thus playing with levels, texture, volume, proportions, surface, and perspective.
It is fascinating how powder particles mixed with water eventually become a shape. Either with the help of mold, thus making it more geometrical, either with free hand pouring, making it more free spirited and versatile. The final finish cannot be changed and it is always a big excitement to see how the final piece would look like.
The forms are geometrical, clear, architectural, and without decoration or distractions. They are raw and unfiltered and the final piece is imperfect. The final the piece is at the same time organized as well as disordered.
I draw inspiration from people, nature, myths, words and different concepts. However, my biggest inspiration is the city of Athens. The city with the most perfectly organized harmony and analogies, also being chaotic and random at the same time.
This is what each sculptural art piece denotes. There is something poetic and fragile in this brutalist unfinished strong material. The strict and raw geometrical shapes are combined with free hand pouring that give a feeling of flow and movement. There is emphasis on the texture and forms rather than color and material.
This art piece is for people who invest in a good design and see the value in unique one of a kind art work that in its simplicity has got so much to tell.
