Comments on Greek painting, art, contemporary thought

Our blog is an artistic, cultural guide to the Greek landscapes. At the same time it offers an introduction to the history of Greek fine arts, Greek artists, mainly Greek painters, as well as to the recent artistic movements

Our aim is to present the Greek landscapes in a holistic way: Greek landscapes refer to pictures and images of Greece, to paintings and art, to poetry and literature, to ancient philosophy and history, to contemporary thought and culture...

Greece in colours...


Yannis Stavrou, After Rain, oil on canvas

Dedicated to the Greek Omogenia, to all Greeks around the world:

Greece of colours and nostalgia. Greek landscapes under the sun. The tender Greek nights. The moon of August. The olive groves. The sea. The ships, ancient symbol of the Journey. The Ulysses myth, a precious tradition for every Greek. Images of the soul. Memories that bring people of Hellenic backgrounds together...

Yannis Stavrou invites you to travel the Greece of colours and dreams; to search among the images and old values that vanish. The unique identity of the Greek landscape, the atmosphere, the taste of the moments that penetrate our existence are captured in his impressionist paintings.

Landscapes, cities, sea depictions, figures, portraits change roles following the paths of our common memory. Hellenism roots are rediscovered through colour, form, artistic inspiration...
