About this work

You see a small villa in a quiet Athens suburb. The house sits between two dark cypress trees. Pink walls glow in late afternoon light. A few shutters are open. The lawn looks dry. This isn’t a postcard view. The artist, Yorgos Mavroidis, paints with wild, choppy brushes. He loads color thickly—impasto, that’s when paint sits up off the canvas. The colors hum. The edges feel alive. Try looking up his portraits next.
