Portraits

"Nikos deeply impressed by he Byzantine Iconography, and being himself a genuine child of the Fayum and ancient Greek techniques, studies during 2009 the portraits of his real life friends.

All portraits of this series are real persons which are easily recognizable mostly by their characters than their strict characteristics.

As a pure expressionist Nikos expresses characters and ethics. His paintings, loose and free, balance between reality and myth the same way they balance between a scketch and a strict byzantine icon."
