Hi, I'm Stamatis, from Greece. These are sample photos of my work.
When I started working on sculpture at ASFA I initially experimented with various materials including clay, wood, and ice. Along with the study of sculpture sketching which was also part of the curriculum. Other studies of mine led me to explore insects and their incredible and mysterious world. I realised their ability to survive all over this planet, their ability to transform (metamorphose) during different stages of their lives. I’ve began to admire their strength rather than their weakness that most of us see in them. I find that their bodies have a much greater sculptural interest than the human body Thanx for viewing.I'll appreciate any comments & i'll try 2 answer any questions Images

charcoal absorbs the light, has no reflections, supports the glass and compliments the outline of the object |

They use the light and they become themselves the source of light, to the point that the light becomes entrapped and then dispatches (transmits) through their body masses. |

One day, while visiting a traditional market in the city of Thessaloniki, in northern Greece, I came across a small glass workshop; fascinated, I watched the aged craftsman (I prefer to call him alchemist) pulling and kneading test tubes and the bottles submitting this remarkable material into the obedience of his hands. |
