Ivan Karamazov: I Hasten to Give Back My Entrance Ticket, acrylic on canvas, 2022
We observe a suit painted with “heavenly” colors that we cannot find in any clothing store. The jacket’s structure is warm, brownish-red, and the collar and shoulders come out of those lines, with a combination of greenish, yellowish, and azure-turquoise brush strokes, from which a miracle jacket is obtained! This miracle jacket allows a thin, noble neck and a face lit by direct light to be shown, with eyes that are “protruding” (ecstatic) because they see something we have not seen, and the character remains ecstatic and voiceless. This ecstatic figure is covered with hair with bluish strands, similar to the mustache and beard. But all this is similar to a decorative frame that frames the bright face of an ecstatic look. — Stamatis Skliris
