"Sleepless, 2016" by Konstantinos Skopelitis
Sometimes you just have to stand upon your fears, your demons, your thoughts, yourself... Surprisingly you have the power to do anything. It's time. Be awake, be furious, change your reality!

“Each day sunflowers travel with the sun, imitating it as it moves over the horizon. It seems as if they are saying, `Look, I am the same as you`. In their sweetest dreams they dream of the day they grow up so big that they can shine brightly in the sky, too.”
“Not everyone can feel and observe the real beauty of female body isolated from all of the instincts and lure it shines. Taken just as a aesthetic object and observed as a artistic element, it's so powerful that, as you can see, creates and spills flowers all over! "Waterfall" is from my cycle of paintings "Naked portraits". Psychological portraits of a person when she is all alone, when she's naked as truth.”
“In a world full of ordinary things I like to escape into my own dreamland. This is the vision of that place, distant, hidden and romantic...”
“Living in Milan as I do, fashion is very much a part of daily life. Here, where important fashion shows occur several times throughout the year, it's quite usual to see beautiful international models with their trolleys battling with the Italian language before they can understand that tickets can't be bought onboard. Vivienne Westwood's Nightmare is carrying on in my Milan Fashion Week series and it aims at pointing out how very much the same of the same is dished up each year. Innovative Westwood, I'm sure, is horrified most of the time.”
“There's something captivating about the rain, the way it makes the pavements glisten and people hurry. In this latest series of paintings, I've tried to capture an essence of the London rainy day commute, at each end of the day. Each painting is titled by the time and place of the reference, as people make their way to work or back home again, in a light shower or downpour. As I walk about looking for the perfect reference, I'm drawn to colourful umbrellas, blurred lights and reflections in puddles.”
“This painting is reminiscent of my time spent marching through Scotland's finest bogs as a young child. The picture is painted from my imagination, however it bears a passing resemblance to the North East of Scotland. This area's landscape is affectionately etched into my memory despite my many years living abroad. Based loosely on the work of François Gérard and 'Glasgow Boy' James Guthrie, I have used fine detail to describe the landscape and it's characters.”
“I took this photo in The Dead Mountains (Totes Gebirge) in Austria, where the snow belts refresh your view and skin even in early Summer. When hiking through this infinite limestone mountain area my mind went through various stages of feelings from the Man on the Moon free levitation to post-apocalyptic nihility and back. If this rocky plateau was not that high and inaccessible, I bet this place would be full of filmmakers. When you look closer, you will see three black figures below the tall mountain peak. These were the only people we met and talked to that day.”
“Another in the trees series; this time with a wolf lurking in the foreground...what does she see? Trees angled, as though frozen in the midst of battle. The skies glorious, as they always are. Looking up you will find an inspiration of colour and movement.”
“A majestic Tiger, instantly recognisable, inspirational, inspiring and sadly declining. In 1900 there were around 100,000 tigers in the wild, current estimates are between 3000 - 4000. There are over 5000 registered as pets in America. In this painting I have tried to engage directly with the tiger, focusing on his eyes and his beautiful markings, markings which help him blend in with his surroundings and have also cursed him with their desirability as pelts to signify the potency and power of the wearers.”
