Kostakis Manelis

Kostakis Manelis, trained at an art high school, primarily uses oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting techniques and experiments with materials such as sand and gold leaf. He combines traditional and contemporary techniques, working between figuration and abstraction, and emphasizes materiality, structure, and light in an expressive visual language. His works touch upon themes such as memory, time, transience, and identity, inviting the viewer to discover feelings, memories, and stories—his art makes the invisible tangible.
