“The whole work of Aleko Fasianos, the colors that filled his canvases, the ‘flat’, but multidimensional forms that dominate his paintings, exude Greece,” the Minister of Culture said in her condolence message, informed of the painter’s death.
“From his first steps, in his artistic work, but also in his work for the theater, Fasianos did not let currents and influences alter his basic, personal, characteristics” continues the condolence message. “He is one of the leading contemporary creators of Greekness in painting. His roots come from traditional art, his technique from his studies next to Giannis Moralis and then in France, where he lived for a long time. In its forms you recognize the Cycladic figurines, the ancient Greek vessels, the Byzantine icons. The art of Aleko Fasianos is both popular and high, which is why it continues to be one of the most recognizable, recognized and beloved artists. Alekos was a dear friend of Papagou and Jia. I do not forget our long conversations with him and his mother, an eminent philologist, who taught him Greek art about the value of autograph clothes, the color of ancient statues and the uniqueness of ancient drama. In Tzia, fishing in Treis Ammoudies with Tsarouchis, Haros, Stefanou. Memories that will never go away. And when the resources for the excavation in Karthea were scarce, Alekos sold his paintings and covered the needs of our construction site. To Mariza, Victoria and Nikos, whom he loved so much, I express my deep sorrow. Apart from his artistic legacy, Alekos gave them his kindness, his kindness, his simplicity and austerity, his education and his humor. We will never forget him. “
Deputy Minister of Culture Nikolas Giatromanolakis made the following statement:
“Alekos Fasianos sealed an entire era. His anthropocentric approach in combination with the clear Greekness of his art made him artistically internationally recognized and at the same time made him extremely popular among all Greeks. As he himself had stated, ‘I express the man of today who bears the memory of all those who preceded him.’ Fasianos, through his theme, but also the scope of his action contributed to make the visual art more familiar. I express my condolences to his family. “
