His pictures, whether they reflect cosmogonic explosions, recreate age-old myths, or  refer to human situations, sum up the experiences of the past and initiate a personal dialogue with the present. At the same time they also create the sensation of a bottomless void which is at once attractive and repulsive, for in these pictures one may, if one wishes, read something about one' s deeper self. If the ultimate aim of a work of art is to lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves, Kilessopoulos' work challenges us to strive to get to know ourselves and to embark on a personal quest for the meaning of freedom.
