RevivalAcrylic on stretched canvas54 cm x 44 cmThis year, Greece celebrates 200 years of independence from the Ottoman Empire.The 25th of March has always been a significant date in our household. Both sets of my grandparents migrated from a town called Kalavryta, a place amid the mountains where I spent many months of my childhood on our family’s regular pilgrimages to Greece. It was in this village, where my ancestors once lived, fought and died, that the Greek revolution began.This is my submission into the By George! Art Prize, run by the Foundation for Hellenic Studies. It’s my interpretation of what independence is good for: the process of rebuilding and revival. The Hellenic spirit has overcome every adversity across every era. Our culture endures. -- source link
