Miltos Michailidis
Miltos Michailidis’ artistic and research work is a combination between
installations and painting. The inspiration for the creation of his artistic
images comes often from an archive of various documents, photos and objects. Various
“Things” collected throughout the years that compose his personal memory tank.
For the artist, making art is a visual game of memory which sets off from the
premise that memory itself is an interpretation rather than a hard fact and
hence it can be distorted. Like an explorer of a new era, he elaborates on
icons and other various “stolen” information creating environments and
paintings that comment on how today’s individual accumulates facts and draws
conclusions regarding the word that surrounds him. For Miltos, every exhibition
is also a different page of his “artistic” diary, a mechanism that helps the
memory to stay alive. “I remember therefore I am” could be the moto that can
describe the whole body of work by Miltos Michailidis.
