Nikolaos Sarlis (b. 1988)

Nikolaos Sarlis studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts and graduated with distinction in 2013. He then followed the postgraduate program in Visual Arts at Athens School of Fine Arts. On March 20th of 2018 he had first solo show at Gallery 7 in Kolonaki.

His works on paper, processed in a special way, imitate ancient monuments, methods of camouflage and debris. The shading of these folds works independently of natural light, resulting in visual illusions about the weight and position of the figures in space. Thus, the same work may refer to a chiton taken from the friezes of Parthenon or to an aerial photograph of the moon's surface.
