They highlight human existence, its relationship with the environment, inner quests and social observations. Each work acts as a window into the artist's world, highlighting different perspectives and inner worlds expressed through painting.

Each work is a chapter in a story, with each artist bringing their own unique approach.

Michalis Kiousis captures people's lives with sensitivity and allows light to penetrate his images, highlighting the beauty of the human experience.
