About this artwork
I've always wondered what the world would be like if the news only focused on good and positive stories, ignoring the negative. Imagine for a moment—no reports of wars or crimes, just uplifting news. This oil painting collage is my bold statement on that idea.
To convey this universal message, I chose strong textures and collected headlines in over 15 languages. The central figure sweeps away layers of negative news clippings, symbolizing our power… to clear out pessimism and make room for positivity. It highlights the choice we have to focus on uplifting stories and sweep away the fear fed to us daily.
“Freedom” is for dreamers, optimists, and anyone who believes in the power of art and ideas to transform reality. Let this piece inspire you to free yourself from negativity and fill your life with hope, joy, and creativity.
* The painting comes unmounted very carefully packed in a heavy PVC tube with layers of bubble wrap to protect it and ensure it will reach you safely.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Michel Devanakis is a contemporary figurative painter whose work is built around the idea of the threshold. A state of inner tension where opposing forces coexist without resolution.
Born to Greek parents in Cameroon and shaped by a life across different cultural environments, his work reflects a sustained interest in boundaries. Between visible and invisible, private and public, control and emergence.
After more than two decades in graphic design and illustration, he turned fully to painting in 2013. This background remains visible in the precision of his compositions and the clarity of his visual structure.
He develops each painting through a process that moves from digital construction to direct execution. The result is a controlled balance between intention and unpredictability, where each image holds tension without forcing resolution.
Based in Greece, his work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections across Europe.
