About this work

You see a drawing with bold block letters spelling Πάντα Ρει -6-. The words come from an old Greek saying by Heraclitus that means "everything flows." The artist turned a simple phrase into a strong visual. In 1987, Mylona was working on a series to show key human values through art. He used block letters to give words physical weight. This drawing is part of that idea. Try looking up another drawing by Mylona, Alex (1920-2016).
