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.
Methodology
Politis mainly works in watercolours and acrylics, but also uses collage or pen and ink occasionally. He prefers painting on heavy watercolour paper (usually rough or cold pressed). His paintings evolve through multiple layers in order to create texture and depth. Politis usually makes sketches, sometimes miniature versions and then proceeds to the actual paintings.
