Mitsotakis: Alekos Fasianos sealed for decades an aesthetic that gave birth to a genuine and rich feeling

“Greece no longer has with it a great artist who generously gave color to its daily life. A painter, a true poet. Not only because Alekos Fasianos himself wrote poems and short stories. But mainly because with his paint he always balanced between realism and abstraction. In the simple and dreamy moments. In fact and the myth. Thus, for decades, it sealed an aesthetic that gave birth to a genuine and rich feeling “, said the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis about the loss of Aleko Fasianos.
“I had the honor to know him personally, as well as his beloved Mariza. In most of his creations, man starred. As in his thought. Some time ago, on the occasion of the pandemic, he called on us to deal with it with “solidarity, love and education”. And to respond to the difficulties by bringing ourselves “paradise within us and in our space”. “Just like he had chosen to be austere, approachable, sensitive and responsible.”

But also the dynamism that hid the serene character, the right judgment and his exemplary behavior. “Because as a painter, Fasianos did what he did as a human being: focusing on form, he always approached the soul,” he adds.
“Together with all Greeks, I say goodbye to a friend. And I share the great sorrow with his wife, his two children and all his own people “concludes Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

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. “
