Alekos Fassianos gains his inspiration from the mythological folklore that permeates Greek culture and traditions. Inherent of an enchanting lyricism, his paintings evoke the world of ancient Greece as well as the characters and mythical tales that adorn the artifacts from that early civilization. The stylistic attributes that bear a resemblance to antiquity, combined with Fassianos’ fascination with modern and contemporary Greek poetry, making his work easily recognizable as a symbiotic amalgamation of modernity and mythology.
