("At an early age, I used to play some kind of game: I was writing words or short phrases, “notes to my future self”, in a manner that no one from my social environment could read them. My writings were difficult to understand due to the anagrammatism I often used. In my mind, this game was a challenge. Would I be able to understand my writings, in case I discovered them in the future? Today, preserving the essence of this game, I compose promiscuous images as a kind of personal diary by incorporating the element of text into the drawing, either in an ambiguous structure or in the form of ideograms/emoji’s /icons in order to create some kind of “visual enigma”. Strongly influenced by my job as a graphic designer, my work is being prepared digitally, creating compositions by collecting images of my personal photos via smartphone, from the Internet (mostly social media), and from movie stills. In my latest body of work, I create paintings by using oil colors on canvas and pencil drawings." Alexandros Alekidis)
