("My paintings are fragments of narratives and dreams through which I explore how painting generates ideas, maintains associations, and evokes emotional reactions in the viewer. Using collage language as a key step towards the final composition of a painting, I research the relationships between personal and collective memory as well as the relationships between structures and their content. At the same time, I seek to develop a work that carries unsaid contents, is open to various interpretations, and embodies multiple meanings by giving all those elements which can allow the viewers to construct their narratives and step inside their frames using entry points such as fragmented body parts and environments within the images to establish their narratives. I think of an effective painting the one that should present its space in such a way as to include both viewer and maker each with his own space intact. The results are figurative paintings with surreal structures that lie somewhere between reality and the subconscious, which are simultaneously hiding and revealing its actors." Adonis Stoantzikis)
