Apostolos Fanakidis

«Fanakidis moulds his forms with expressionist strength reaching through the cracks of the material their corruptible nature. They face with perplexity their constriction from their technological environment [...] and their unrealised dreams [...] Fanakidis provides drama in his sculptural creations throughout his artistic path. The sculptor immediately focuses his interest in the unusual beauty of form and colour, in the narrative variations and in the expressive emotions through the distortions introduced in his work. Several of his creations tend to the sphere of hyperrealism in order to reach the indefinable and the elusive dream».

«The sculpture of Fanakidis provokes a pleasant surprise to us. The sculptor, although he remains classic [...] plays with the form, he goes from the figurative to abstract and from abstract to figurative. [Fanakidis] works in the long term and his sculptures are exposed as works that will withstand time and will become museum pieces».
