DEMETRI - STATUS
Born Nicosia, Cyprus, is a full time visual artist working in the style of abstract expressionism both in the UK and Cyprus. Dimitri’s work is often characterized by gestural brush-strokes and mark-making, and the impression of spontaneity, evokes the aim to make art that while abstract was also expressive or emotional in its effect.
Creating swirling and spinning lines, thin and broad, the large canvas‘ resonate a carnival Dionysian festivity. Very often large in scale, his work is at times intense, spontaneous and deeply engaging.
“Creating artwork that does not represent the visible but rather to make visual. The joy of using brushes, oils on canvas, expressing your soul, reaching out to the ‘Logos’ is a risky and creative exploration. Unnatural wonders happen”.
