In Gnosticism, a serpent biting its tail symbolized eternity and the soul of the world. The Gnostic Pistis Sophia (c. 400 CE) describes the ouroboros as a twelve-part dragon surrounding the world with its tail in its mouth. The famous ouroboros drawing from the early alchemical text, The Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra, probably originally dating to the 3rd century Alexandria, but first known in a 10th-century copy, encloses the words hen to pan, "the all is one". Its black and white halves may perhaps represent a Gnostic duality of existence, analogous to the Taoist yin and yang symbol. The chrysopoeia ouroboros of Cleopatra the Alchemist is one of the oldest images of the ouroboros to be linked with the legendary opus of the alchemists, the philosopher's stone. Yiannis' subject matter is the essence of the world he live in: dystopia. Inevitably, every individual witnesses the devastation of modern society. Instead of paying tribute to nature, we opt in favor of worshiping materialism, forgetting our origin. He sees in his artwork the today’s crisis; He sees a nature that has sunk into the dystopia that human has imposed, remonstrating the contemporary world.

My subject matter is the essence of the world I live in: dystopia. Inevitably, every individual witnesses the devastation of modern society. Instead of paying tribute to nature, we opt in favor of worshiping materialism, forgetting our origin. I see in my artwork the today’s crisis; I see a nature that has sunk into the dystopia that human has imposed, remonstrating the contemporary world. A piece of art owes a social concern to its viewers, evolving each and every one of them personally. Man needs to be in contact with the equilibrium of nature, and that is why my landscapes form an uncomfortable notion to the viewer. And it is exactly this, the disarray of dystopia that sows doubt about the lost unification between human and the environment. Yiannis Devoidness Kalyvis
