VENUE

The City of Athens Gallery

Painter and set designer Nikolas Klironomos invites us on a special journey back to the roots of the Greek visual language. His talk will focus on Ancient Greek painting, exploring how the art of light and colour moved through the centuries, influencing both European painting and Orthodox iconography, right up to the Greek creators of the '30s and '80s generations.

At the heart of the presentation is the iconic figure of Polygnotus of Thasos (450 BC), whose pioneering colour palette and aesthetic vision remain alive today. Through a curated visual presentation, participants will have the chance to discover the timeless mark of Hellenistic heritage and the way ancient knowledge continues to fuel contemporary artistic creation.

This activity is only available in Greek.
