Fotis Galanopoulos | Moments Achronic

Fotis Galanopoulos | Moments Achronic

The invention of time seems to weaken man more and more. Piranha – seconds swallow his life. “And who gave us the right to make the sun our ignorant measurer? And what about days and nights? coins that we drop into a piggy bank hole?” Elytis wonders. But even in our time, where the thieves of time coordinate and multiply, human nature is marked by timeless moments. Legally. Moments when time stops. The senses dominate. Darkness and light. When Fotis Galanopoulos is faced with a white canvas, he is faced with infinity. In a moment the journey of the unconscious begins, revealing a story that has never been told. A different story for everyone. Full of bright colors, movement, forms and shapes that reveal themselves over time. Does it seem like irony? On the contrary. The time vortex into which every viewer standing opposite the paintings of the exhibition enters, seems to fully justify the title. Of course, it is also present in the lyrics that the creator has written in the past: Life is eternal wandering Moment that crossed our path to infinity. Present past and future in silence. Dot of time resurrected.

Fotis Galanopoulos was born in Drama, Greece. He is a painter and his works are exhibited in art galleries all over the world. He has published three poetry collections that combine writing with painting. [Biography updated on: 26/4/2017]
