Landscape of Evrostini 

Costas Niarchos’ "Landscape of Evrostini" presents a world rendered in earthy tones, where the tangible solidity of the landscape is softened by the artist's hand. The composition, dominated by the mass of a mountain and dense foliage, invites a reading of nature through the structural language of painting. Here, Niarchos explores the semiotics of landscape. Note how the brushstrokes, while appearing representational, break down the visual field into abstract shapes, hinting at a dialogue between the observed world and the formal properties of paint. The texture, thick and palpable, mediates our visual and tactile senses. The painting’s power lies in its ability to challenge fixed notions of landscape art, prompting us to consider how the act of painting itself shapes our perception. Niarchos doesn't merely represent Evrostini, he reimagines it through a lens of color, texture, and form. This reminds us that art is always a constructed reality, an interpretation rather than a mirror.
