This work has two explanations. A lighter one and a darker one. First, I am not the same today as I was yesterday or will be tomorrow. 20 or 50 years from now, who will remember this portrait and where will it be? Everything is ephemeral... The "other" explanation is that I haven't had the chance to have children, so I figured no one would care about this portrait after my passing away. This is another deeper and perhaps darker explanation for the adjective "ephemeral" in the title. It's also why I painted myself twice, erasing my self-portrait with white... To capture a fading memory and the passing of time that is destined to wipe the canvas blank again. Needless to say, both explanations are valid… This Portrait won the First Price Award in the International Juried Art Competition for Portraits, organized in April 2021 by "Art Show International"

Greece
Born and raised in Douala (Cameroon) from Greek parents, I studied Graphic Design and advertising in France. After my studies, I lived and worked in many countries (France, Bermuda, Mexico, Canada) before settling to Greece in 1997 where I started my own agency. I was awarded for my work and had the Art Direction of various magazines (+Design, Insider Athens, Bonjour and others). While I have been creating art in various forms throughout my life it was not until 2013, after recovering from a serious heart surgery, that I gradually devoted myself to painting on a full-time basis. I admire and love the works of many artists, past and present, with very different styles and cultures. I wouldn't be able to judge myself as having a specific influence other than being mostly attracted to realism. This "labeling" makes me feel uncomfortable as by doing so, I believe people would expect me to create again and again in a certain way. I try to protect my freedom and the spontaneity to create whatever I want, as I want it, allowing myself to be entertained and for you to be surprised.
