Vakirtzis represents in his works a human world focalized in human figure. A world of his, coordinated in friezes like a company that narrates myths, where the spectator becomes a participant.
With strong influences from the Byzantine art, a particular expressionism, an incomparable ability to insert figures or surroundings by shapes or realistic spaces given with full colors he manages to live his own stigma in Greek Painting.

Duration of exhibition: until 26 of February.
