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

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

glass insects on neon installations

glass insects on neon installations

these are installations i exhibited back in '96
sorry about the medium size of the pics
The insects migrate to our world; they land on neon lights, which in contrast to the charcoal’s supportive role, work competitive.

thanks for viewing

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.
They climb on our TV screens and they follow the natural rhythm and movement, they reproduce on the multicolour moving images of MTV, leaving the coloured light to run constantly through their bodies making them looking as they pulsating alive

summer holidays work

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.
I immediately went to purchase glass bars and blow torches and along with the rest of my studies I’ve also started investigating the artistic possibilities of this inspirational material.
