Manolis Stratakis

Manolis is investing a considerable amount of time to master modern abstract painting techniques. He adopts a heretic, inquiring, questioning and experimental approach to painting and art in general. He is performing a lot of research in order to understand how different types of colors interact, how they behave under several forms of processing, modification, adaptation, conversion, or under certain extreme conditions. He is fascinated with art, science, technology, culture, music, harmony, big unsolved problems, maths, puzzles, chess, logic, intelligence, fun, humor, space, deep, macrocosm and microcosm, atoms, humans, animals, nature, brain, memory and all sorts of progress, creativity, innovation, research, and any kind of invention, discovery and elegant solution! He enjoys funny, strange, paradoxical, mathematical, geometrical, logical themes, encrypted messages, games, puzzles and all sorts of problems. The encrypted messages often found in his paintings is just another way for expression, a different language and another puzzle to solve!
