HAVE YOU EVER STOOD IN AWE ADMIRING THE ENTRANCE TO THE ACROPOLIS?
AN ARTIST HAS A THIRD EYE, A SIXTH SENSE, SOMETHING THAT WE NORMAL PEOPLE FAIL TO HAVE OR INDEED HAVE BUT FAIL TO USE.
ZENETZIS TURNED TO ATHENS AND ITS HISTORIC MONUMENTS, THE TREASURES OF OUR WORLD AS EARLY AS 1990. THE MAJORITY OF HIS WORK OF THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS WERE RELATED TO THE HISTORY OF GREECE, TO THE ROOTS OF HELLENISM AND ITS IMPACT ON TODAY’S WORLD.
PAINITNG ON LOCATION IN HIS OWN TOWN, PAINTING THE MONUMENTS THAT INSPIRE THE WORLD OF TODAY AND NOW WAS ZENETZIS’ PASSION AND IN THAT HE DOES NOT FAIL IN THIS PAINTING OF THE PROPYLEA, THE FIRST PAINTING WE STARTED HIS MONOGRAPH OF 2020. THE PROPYLEA TURNS ON THE IMAGINATION AND PREPARES THE VISITOR TO THE TWO IMPORTANT TEMPLES WITHIN THE ACROPOLIS. THIS IS THE GATE, THE ENTRANCE TO THE PILGRIMAGE ON THE ACROPOLIS, ATHENS.
THE LEGACY OF AN ARTIST, THE WORK OF IMMEASURABLE SIGNIFICANCE IS STILL TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED BUT TIME WORKS FOR THIS VERY UNDERRATED ARTIST AND HIS WORK THAT STANDS HIGH IN THE YE OF EXPERTS.
