| Light and movement, as they appear through
the exhaustively
worked material (which I should not like to define only as a medium, for it is also the mental and psychological power of the artist), constitute the two basic factors which determine the development and final form of a painting. In other words, the completion of a painting is directly connected with the vibrations which are emitted. The special way in which the works respond to light is perhaps due to the quality: their vibrancy is maintained under different lighting conditions -whether a bright light falls across the whole of the surface or moves slowly over it. Just as an underwater explorer' s torch lights up the depths of the sea and reveals new images, so the eye of the viewer, as it roves across the work, discovers unexpectedly changing states. In the course of this endless transmutation, the process of pictorial evolution is ever defined by the constant referral of one element to another -or the precise, detailed and dense formulation to the free, labyrinthine and hazy. This may be the reason why one feels the need to return again and again to the same works in order to have fresh experiences and one makes new correlations. Katia Kilesopoulou
