Inspired by Byzantine monogram letters. Hands, feet, beaks and tails seem to grow in them. I can't help making associations with Greek folk tales where heinous acts, dismemberments and cannibalisms are described with horrific simplicity. This is the monogram of a letter which doesn't exist, implying those feelings and brutalities described before.
The background is a collage made of different patterns from byzantine iconography, snake-like paper, etc.
The artwork was exhibited in Crete and Athens in group exhibitions 2022 and 2023 inspired by Ernst Gombrich's "The story of Art" curated by Iris Kritikou.
