“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.”
The Prime Minister notes that Alekos Fasianos leaves us a valuable legacy of his work in painting, scenography, illustration. “But this does not only include the free figures and the bright colors it offered to our modern culture. 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.
