‘In life one must not be just another person, but another entity…’

I’m a contemporary conceptual artist and my art is characterized by secret gems and mind teasers that I have planted throughout for the viewer to find. My aim is to challenge the audience so as to look twice at my surrealistic work and to be rediscovered. 
My philosophy is that “Art should appeal to a wide audience of all social tiers; it should be seen by as many people as possible in order to form a segment of the cultural discourse of a society” with principal mission not to cynically reject the whole of society along with its signs and symbolism, but, instead, to manage to reopen the debate on the associations we sometimes automatically make with various cultural icons.
Furthermore Art ought to react to all the pre-established cultural images – symbols and to recycle them in such a way that it alters their utility and valor, towards all consumers. This redefinition of words and other signifiers alludes their increasing corruption and corrosion while we consume them daily.
I consistently aim to free the viewer from any fixed concepts and ideas and misconceptions, acquired as a result of brainwashing. By reeducation however we may have the only possible chance against those aggressive indoctrinations.
The spectators will instantly discover how my philosophical and artistic expression has multilingual, multicultural extensions and diachronic values, with indications on modern concerns affecting our future. And it is through the position of humanity across our existence, that we connect our reactions and attitudes with the conduct and treatment towards society, nature and technology.
