About this artwork
This work belongs to a series of painted scars—abstract portraits formed through repeated gestures, scraping, and layering. I don’t begin with a face, but with pressure. What emerges is a form shaped by inner conflict and intensity. In Scars II, the head becomes a field of red tension, scratched and overlaid, stripped of features but charged with presence. It’s not a depiction—it’s a trace, a residue. The process is more important than the result.…
What remains is the imprint of something that refused to disappear.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
Antonis Giakoumakis, born in Athens, uses oil, acrylic, ink, and charcoal. His intense, oftentimes dark, style merges painting and physical techniques - scratching, erasing, layering. His work, raw existential expressions, features distorted figures suggesting body imprints, internal collapse, and psychological absence. These profound pieces impose a lasting impression of tension and enigma on onlookers.
Artist Statement:
“I create gestural, corporeal images where the figure does not appear as a portrait, but as a residue of pressure, erosion, and psychological tension.
My paintings and drawings emerge through scratching, layering, erasure, and repeated assault on the surface.
I’m interested in the moment where the image breaks down—where a presence begins to form out of disorder.
Each work is a trace of internal collapse, something between a body, a wound, and matter.”
