Alekos Fassianos
B.1935, Greek

Alekos Fassianos employs vibrant colors and stylized human figures to evoke mythological themes alongside scenes from everyday life. Drawing inspiration from Greek culture and ancient mythology, his work merges classical symbolism with a modern sensibility, creating compositions that are both timeless and contemporary. Fassianos frequently depicted recurring motifs such as cyclists, birds, and godly profiles, weaving narratives that explore human experience, movement, and spirituality. His paintings are marked by bold lines and a rhythmic flow, balancing figuration with abstraction to evoke emotion and storytelling. Beyond painting, Fassianos expanded his practice into sculpture and furniture design, incorporating the same expressive style and cultural references. His art reflects a deep engagement with tradition, while continuously pushing the boundaries of form and content. Through his work, Fassianos invites viewers into a vibrant world where mythology, daily life, and modernity coexist in harmonious dialogue. ...
