About this artwork
Vortex Figure III
Oil on canvas, 210 × 130 cm, 2016
This painting is part of a triptych first shown in my solo exhibition Vortex (2021). While conceived as one element of a larger composition, it also stands as an autonomous work.
The figure is caught in turbulence — appearing, twisting, and dissolving into shifting fields of black and grey.
Rather than depicting stable forms, Vortex Figures explores instability, transformation, and the struggle… of emergence. The painting is not a fixed image but a trace of movement, a moment suspended between presence and disappearance.
> This painting is part of the triptych “Vortex Figures,” a series exploring movement, distortion, and the dissolution of form.

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.”
