Dimitris Bakopanos

Greece

« My paintings are a fusion between the beauty and the sinuosity of the works of ancient Greece and the modern, contemporary, and classical environments. »
Dimitris Bakopanos is a classically trained painter and a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. Antiquity and ancient Greek mythology are at the heart of Bakopanos' work. His images combine sweetness and energy, nostalgia and rigor to create his hyper-realistic paintings. Often, images of Greek mythological figures are situated in contemporary landscapes. In so doing, his work explores collective memory, and the collapse of distinction between past and present.
