The great Greek painter, Alekos Fasianos, who had been facing health problems in recent years, passed away on Sunday, January 16, at the age of 87. His art is undoubtedly intertwined with modern Greek culture.
The emblematic painter Alekos Fasianos who passed away today, was born in Athens in 1935, studied violin at the Athens Conservatory and painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1955-1960) with Giannis Moralis.
Fasianos’ characteristic style is formed in the early 60’s.
Three basic themes remained unchanged during his course: man, nature, environment. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is no Greek who has not seen a painting by Fasianos.
His study of Greek culture and his involvement with graphic arts and engraving also influenced his painting. His first compositions are dominated by the figure of the officer with the inflatable, red cheeks, the fancy chevrons in the uniform and the cartoonishly evocative style.
Gradually the forms move and acquire their own life. They become pairs that fill the space as soon as they touch each other, while remaining united in design in a mass.
“The Sacrifice”, “The Birds”, “Wings”, “Chiromanti in his room” but many other well-known works of the painter are a great legacy of cultural heritage.
