Artist Statement:
"Memories" of Dimitris
Milionis
In Dimitris Milionis' most
recent paintings the traces of
Greek culture are more than
obvious; they symbolize
references to the Greek
cultural traditions, the
Byzantine art of icon painting
and the miniature paintings of
the Middle Ages. At the same
time they are simple
geometrical compositions with
a strong surrealistic blend.
Characteristic samples of the
artist's work we have the
opportunity to see at
www.milionis.org
Seascapes, the Aegean Sea, the
coasts with the kiosks that
remind of pictures from the
times of Orthodoxy, as they
are imprinted in icons. Scenes
of feasts with bottles of
wine, flowers in the vases and
kites flying in the sky,
become one with religious
festivals and rituals that
take place in sacred places.
The absence of people as part
of the landscapes and the
presence of surreal details in
the compositions strengthens
the sense of no-time. Human
action is implied on the kites
in the sky, the children's
balls on the ground. For the
artist, the curtains in motion
symbolize life, human or
divine mysteries that unfold
within the buildings.
Everyday life and religious
feeling is strongly connected.
The classic pediment is symbol
of love...
