Sorrows and Joys
of Young Goethe,
acrylic on gesso board, 2024
The sorrows and joys of the
young Goethe are expressed not
only through the ambiguous ex-
pression on his face but espe-
cially through the marvelous
composition of somber colors in
his attire and joyful colors in the
landscape. The culmination of
JOY bursts, explodes, in the di-
vine blue sky that crowns the
painting. —Stamatis Skliris
