It's really not easy to talk about Anargiros Paschalis' work since words are not always enough to describe some certain feelings running out of certain situations.
Anargiros' work is about these times in life that no matter how long and rough the way may be, we've got to walk it all alone to the end in order to find ourselves and save what's left.
"My work is about spirituality. It's about self-knowledge" explains Anargiros.
"All people have worries, little jealousies, insecurities...that's what makes human world so sweet and tender".
"We all have fears and personal demons. I'm inspired of people that dare to face them. It's a hard procedure and it takes lots of courage to do that no matter if it's about getting rid of a bad addiction or feeling".
"I believe that people who've been through it finally succeed to get along with themselves".
"These people have taken a step forward: they swing in the air".
" I try to interpret iconically the meanings of loneliness and swinging in the air, the relation between the sky and earth..." he goes on.
The element of loneliness is also dominating in Anargiros Paschalis' work.
The funambulists, his personal trademark, always walk alone in a dark, unfriendly universe. It's a personal universe in which loneliness is a state between imbalance and balance on the way to self-knowledge.
Anargiros ' latest exhibition at the Athens Art Gallery, in Kolonaki, ended recently after being extended with four weeks by public demand.
His work has definitely caught the attention of art lovers and has already earned the respect of a fanatic audience that would never miss the chance to step into Anargiros Paschalis' universe.
