Description: Savvatiano vine trunk (Vitis vinifera) with a small white pebble. This sculptural dancer draws inspiration from Giorgio de Chirico, the celebrated artist born in Volos in 1888, whose enigmatic figures often feature distinctive oval, featureless faces. This visual language, also echoed in the work of Greek surrealist painter Nikos Engonopoulos, has been a recurring source of inspiration for the artist. Here, the naturally expressive form of the vine wood is transformed into a dancing figure, crowned by a small white pebble.

Description: Savvatiano vine trunk (Vitis vinifera) with an oversized white pebble from Limeni. Inspired by the Gobbis — the small hunchbacked dwarfs portrayed by French engraver Jacques Callot in a celebrated series of twenty engravings during his time at the Medici court in Florence. The entire Gobbis series was created from sections of ancient Savvatiano vine trunks, reclaimed from an uprooted vineyard in Mesogeia, and large pebbles from Limeni, as a sculptural tribute to Atlas, the mythic figure who bore the world upon his shoulders.
