Sharing is caring!
Today is my 100th post!!! A milestone for me and so to celebrate I am doing something different. A few days ago I had a visit from a good friend of mine. She brought with her some paintings she had made and I was so impressed with her talent that I’d like to share them with you today!
Σήμερα είναι η 100τη μου ανάρτηση!!! Ένα σταθμό για μένα και έτσι για να γιορτάσουμε θα κάνω κάτι διαφορετικό. Πριν από λίγες ημέρες με επισκέφθηκε μια καλή μου φίλη. Έφερε μαζί της μερικές ζωγραφιές που είχε κάνει και εντυπωσιάστηκα τόσο με το ταλέντο της, που θα ήθελα να τις μοιραστώ μαζί σας σήμερα!
These works are based on the Greek artist Photis Kontoglou (above), who was a writer, painter and icon painter. His style is very typical of the Byzantine style of painting.
Τα έργα αυτά βασίζονται στον Έλληνα καλλιτέχνη Φώτη Κόντογλου, ο οποίος ήταν ένας συγγραφέας, ζωγράφος και αγιογράφος. Το στυλ του είναι πολύ χαρακτηριστικό της βυζαντινής τεχνοτροπίας.
The most obvious feature of this type of aesthetic was its abstract, or anti-naturalistic character. If classical art mimicked reality then, Byzantine art seems to have abandoned this attempt in favor of a more symbolic approach.
Το πιο εμφανές χαρακτηριστικό αυτού του τύπου ήταν η αφηρημένη αισθητική του, ή αντι νατουραλιστική χαρακτήρα. Εάν η κλασική τέχνη μιμείται την πραγματικότητα τότε, η βυζαντινή τέχνη φαίνεται να έχει εγκαταλείψει αυτή την προσπάθεια υπέρ μιας πιο συμβολικής προσέγγισης.
I want to thank my friend for these lovely canvases and for bringing a bit of sunshine into my daily routine. I hope you all enjoy them and let’s look forward to the next 100 posts.
Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω θερμά τη φίλη μου για αυτούς τους όμορφους καμβάδες και που έφερε λίγη ηλιοφάνεια στην καθημερινή μου ρουτίνα. Ελπίζω να τα απολαύσετε και ας κοιτάξουμε μπροστά για τις επόμενες 100 αναρτήσεις.

Debra thanks. They were so much fun to style. All those bursts of color. I have to say when you go to a Byzantine church, they are full of bright colors, just like these paintings.
