Stelios Faitakis at ELEPHANT magazine Autumn 2010
Some of you might remember him from the 1st biennale in Athens'Destroy Athens'
He uses the aesthetic of the Byzantine paintings to generate his own work.It is not a question of copying, but of reinterpreting, working from the past to create a personal code.Past symbols are mixed with modern culture, churches becoming skyscrapers, narratives twisted, knights becoming soldiers, saint becoming sinners!
Unfortunately he doesn't have his own page but you can check him on The Breeder
