DIAMANTIS SOTIROPOULOS

The main subject of my work is exploring the human behaviour,through history,mythology and present time.I am mostly focused on the dark side of human existence, and the belligerent nature of man.The tendency to control,dominate ,destroy..I am trying in a way ,to expose this will for power and the non-stop violent actions,which are consealed behind "civilization" and "culture".I am mixing all kinds of symbols,from relegions-nations-races-e.t.c , in order to reveal the confussion that contemporary life is based on.I also use animals as a code to identify clearly the characters envolved.
