Eternal swimming. Artist Vangelis Rinas

"The artist is born to suffer from an incurable romantic. No matter how hard pressing reality, he always thinks that his creativity and art can change the world." Vangelis Rinas takes us on a journey. This is a tale of the great Greek spirit of romance and adventure. "Do not forget that we were born on the same land, like Ulysses, for travel and adventure, commanders, soldiers and researchers at the same time." Very much in the works depends on where he was born and raised artist.


 "I grew up in nature, in the forest and the sea, and I think it's good for anyone that the era of innocence, childhood, when we all experience clarity and order in our souls, gives a life experience. All the ancient images of the island where I was born and grew up, pass through my life and reflected in the works. "
Vangelis Rinas - Greek painter and sculptor born in 1966 on the island of Samos, Ikaria island rose. His first teacher in painting was professor Vasilis Korkovelos. He graduated from the Athens School of Fine Arts with a degree of MFA. Lives and works in Athens and New York. Since 1992, he held exhibitions in Greece and abroad and participates in international biennials.


In his works, there is a beautiful image of a woman (wife, as the muse of inspiration), boats (dreamy journey) and musical instruments (music - a symbol of universal art), where many elements are perfectly balanced, there is a harmony of light and color, history and modernity. The question of the eternal journey of man. By creating your own reality, his works like excerpts from dreams, metamorphosis or evolution from reality to dream. Given that Rinas grew on the ancient Greek earth, time is substantial and the main motive. Ancient and modern Eleusis, as a background motive: the ancient columns in terms of the modern city, abandoned temple, earthy soil, to its former glory ... just appears and disappears in piles of dust from refineries and shipbuilding docks. Eleusis today - it's the exact opposite of its ancient history. Topics of the artist can be read as a story, but not in a negative sense, but as treasures that will be opened again.
