Tomb of Evrion 

Editor: Here we have Dimitris Mytaras’ "Tomb of Evrion," painted with acrylic on canvas. It's an image that makes me think of classical sculpture, even a funerary portrait… though abstracted. What do you see in this piece, how do you interpret it? Curator: Well, that title, "Tomb of Evrion," already sends us down a certain path, doesn’t it? I love that sense of antiquity clashing with this modern, almost naive style. Those blues – the mournful, ethereal quality they lend...it’s like gazing at a faded memory. Do you feel that too? A ghostly presence fighting to be seen through layers of time and artistic interpretation? Editor: Definitely. The face feels both present and distant. The impasto brushstrokes add to that sense of a fragmented memory. Curator: Precisely. And those blues, juxtaposed with the earthy tones, create such a poignant contrast! It whispers stories of lives lived and lost. It's almost as if Mytaras isn’t just showing us a tomb, but the very feeling of being near one. That liminal space between worlds… Did you notice the almost architectural forms? Like pillars holding up… well, everything? Editor: Yes, those stark vertical elements really anchor the figure within the composition. They lend a sense of structure to an otherwise fluid and emotive image. Curator: Structure! I love that. Because doesn't life *need* structure to give those feelings shape? Mytaras makes you consider it all. What a ride! Editor: This painting really makes me appreciate how artists can play with memory, history, and emotion all at once. Curator: Absolutely! Mytaras invites us to not just look, but feel, reflect, and, yes, remember.
