An Interview with Diogenis Papadopoulos.
Who and where are you from?
I live in Xanthi, a small town in Greece. I studied Civil Engineering and currently I am a student in the School of Architecture.
How you got into this?
In terms of my relationship with painting, I can not track a specific period as I have always drawn. It is just that at times there is a greater need for expression.My interest in comic books was the first contact with art and triggered me to discover other painting movements such as pop art, surrealism, expressionism.
What is your driving force?
Everything revolves around man. From face to body movements. Sometimes the source of my inspiration is either a familiar face (the way one is standing, reading, reclining), or a photo, or even part of it. Also, my inspirations come from moments, landscapes, people, and I try to reproduce the moment, the expression, the smells that impressed me, but what matters is always the color.
What kind of work you do and why?
Painting is a dialogue with myself. It helps to find a balance in life. It is a stress buster, so I create the conditions to draw. I experiment with different painting materials such as ink, acrylic, oil, tempera on paper or canvas, but I am fascinated by ink and oil paints.
