Description

Diogeni’s work is noted for the fluidity and color he uses when painting his perception of the human face and body. Curved lines, circular shapes, and detailed backgrounds in a monochromatic ambience compose the majority of his artworks. A series of yellow paintings, a series of blue paintings, but one can always recognize his distinct style. There is a liberty in his paintings, as a result of his non-realistic expression (despite sometimes called a realist) that gives the viewer the freedom to interpret the artwork, that hides some of the truth, and intrigues as a half-naked body. Whether he uses ink, tempera or oil paint, realism or fantasy, he achieves transferring a recognizable unique feeling to his audience.

Born, raised, and living in his hometown Xanthi in northern Greece, a civil engineer, and an architect in profession, Diogenis Papadopoulos is a contemporary artist of our times that continues to impress us himself through his brushstrokes.
