Martinakis Adam - Arthouros

Statement of fragments >
/ Imagining art being a bridge, a connection between the spirit and the material,
the living and the absent, the personal and the universal.
/ Exploring the unknown of light and darkness in a supplementary coexistence
that forms the event horizon of the creation.
/ Composing scenes of the nonexistence, the echo of the living void,
immersed in the metaphysics of perception.
