Two Figures 

Dimitris Mytaras painted "Two Figures" with bold strokes and a vibrant palette characteristic of his expressionist style. Born in Greece in 1934, Mytaras lived through turbulent times marked by political upheaval and social change which profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Here, the juxtaposition of two figures invites us to consider themes of identity, relationship, and perspective. The figures' profiles hint at classical Greek sculpture, yet their stylized forms and intense colors feel strikingly modern. There’s a sense of introspection. They seem to be gazing not outward, but inward, as if contemplating their place in the world. Mytaras once said, "Art is a dialogue between the past and the present." This painting echoes the complexities of human connection and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. It reflects a deep engagement with both the past and present, inviting us to consider the intertwined nature of history, identity, and existence.
