During the pandemic and confinement, what started as an exercise of calmness and self-concentration was to evolve into a personal artistic identity and the creation of a new body of artwork.

"Spiros does not follow the traditional style of chiaroscuro - there is none of that in his work, yet with a limited and subtle colour palette, his work maintains depth. Importantly, when viewing his artworks, one becomes aware of the absence of shadows, purposefully done to create the feeling of timelessness. "

Drawings & Watercolours by Spiros Baras. On display until 11th May 2024.
Spiros Baras invites contemplation on themes of existence, resilience, and the inexorable passage of time.
Hi masterful use of a limited and subtle palette paradoxically imbues his pieces with a profound sense of depth.
Each line on the canvas is a deliberate act of defiance against the passage of time, inviting observers into a world suspended in an eternal present.
