VASILIS ZENETZIS AND HIS TRIBUTE TO ATHENS
PAINTING AERIDES WITH THE ACROPOLIS BEYOND ON 18TH AUGUST 2024
PAINTING ON LOCATION, PAINTING IN AN IMPRESSIONIST STYLE AND THE LOCATIONS THAT INSPIRED AND INSPIRE HUMANITY HAS BECOME BANAL AND UNFASHIONABLE. HOWEVER, ZENETZIS DECLARED WITH NO SHAME AND NO REGRET: I PAINT FOR THE PEOPLE, I PAINT WHAT I LOVE PAINTING AND THIS IS MY OPPORTUNITY TO PAINT THE CITY I LOVE DURING THE ATHENS OLYMPICS OF 2004.
THUS ZENETIZS FOR JUST SEVENTEEN DAYS PAINTED ON LOCATION THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN CANVASES OF ATHENS ANTIQUITIES FROM THE ACROPOLIS AND THE PARTHENON TO THE ACROPOLIS AND THE PARTHENON!!!
THE EPICENTRE WAS, IS AND WILL BE THE PARTHENON AND ITS UNDYING INFLUENCE ON HUMANITY LIKE IT WAS ON ZENETZIS IN THE DAYS OF THE OLYPICS OF 2004. HE PAINTED WITH PASSION AND LOVE, HE IMMORTALISED ONCE AGAIN THE IMMORTAL MONUMENTS OF ATHENS LIKE NO OTHER ARTIST DID IN THOSE DAYS. HE WAS THE EXCEPTION, HE WAS THE ATTRACTION, HE WAS THE NEW CREATOR OF THE UMMORTAL MONUMENTS OF ARTHENS!!!
