Tirounavacarassou’s paintings call on us to assume the nature of a child, to absorb their purity and simplicity, to keenly observe, decipher and imbibe their translucent and ephemeral nature; lest, cloudlike, they should evaporate and disappear.
Tirou creates fascinating mosaic-like commentaries of life in his fishing village, where amidst all their customs and rituals, myriad figures appear to embody and demonstrate an instant amalgamation of all their lives experience. Through timeless story-like tapestries, both young and old, enmeshed in the daily play of duty and love, tell their story; unaware and unconcerned of the gravity of their impending fate. |
