About George Politis RI

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

Time plays a very basic role in my paintings; particularly the way it leaves its mark on varied objects and on nature itself fascinates me.I see in the old, rusty and ravaged both truth and excitement. I can find inspiration in ordinary and commonly overlooked items, responding to them with dramatically different feelings each time, whether emphasizing the serenity, the loneliness, the atmosphere, or the melancholy.

Method of Working

I mainly work in watercolours and acrylics, but also use collage or pen and ink occasionally. I prefer painting on heavy watercolour paper (usually rough or cold pressed).My paintings evolve through multiple layers in order to create texture and depth. I usually make sketches, sometimes miniature versions and then proceed to the actual paintings.
