For me, it&#8217;s a path to self-awareness, a reflection of myself and the times I live in. Who am I and who is the other? What do I do? What moves me and what do I leave behind? In my painted representations, I try to balance the dualism and the various contrasts that exist within every individual, such as strong and sensitive, male and female, or mind and emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Dimitrios feels his work is only good when it&#8217;s soulful and possesses its own expressive power where words don&#8217;t matter. &#8220;Why do I create what I create? If I knew that, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have made it. The act of creating is one of the most fascinating and beautiful endeavours I can ever wish for.\u2019\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"tdm_block td_block_wrap tdm_block_inline_image tdi_8 td-animation-stack tdm-inline-block tdm-content-horiz-left td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_8\" >\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  margin-bottom: 0;\r\n                  line-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image .tdm-inline-image-wrap{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  display: inline-block;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image .td-image-video-modal{\r\n                  cursor: pointer;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image .tdm-caption{\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  font-family: Verdana, BlinkMacSystemFont, -apple-system, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, \"Open Sans\", \"Helvetica Neue\", sans-serif;\r\n                  padding-top: 6px;\r\n                  padding-bottom: 6px;\r\n                  font-size: 12px;\r\n                  font-style: italic;\r\n                  font-weight: normal;\r\n                  line-height: 17px;\r\n                  color: #444;\r\n                }.tdm_block.tdm_block_inline_image.tdm-caption-over-image .tdm-caption{\r\n                  position: absolute;\r\n                  left: 0;\r\n                  bottom: 0;\r\n                  margin-top: 0;\r\n                  padding-left: 10px;\r\n                  padding-right: 10px;\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);\r\n                  color: #fff;\r\n                }.tdi_8 .tdm-inline-image-wrap:hover:before{\r\n                    opacity: 0;\r\n                }\n<\/style><div class=\"tdm-inline-image-wrap \" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tdm-image td-fix-index td-lazy-img\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABCwAAAJEAQMAAADnqyfeAAAAA1BMVEWurq51dlI4AAAAAXRSTlMmkutdmwAAAG9JREFUeNrswYEAAAAAgKD9qRepAgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADg9uCQAAAAAEDQ\/9fOsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAsAox6wABwRHV3QAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\" data-type=\"image_tag\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/dimitriosxanthopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ddx-tekeningen72dpi-195.jpg\"  title=\"ddx-tekeningen72dpi-195\" width=\"433\" height=\"612\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_column tdi_10  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span6\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_10{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" ><div class=\"tdm_block td_block_wrap tdm_block_inline_image tdi_11 td-animation-stack tdm-inline-block tdm-content-horiz-left td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_11\" >\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_11{\r\n                    width: 100%;\r\n                }.tdi_11 .tdm-inline-image-wrap:hover:before{\r\n                    opacity: 0;\r\n                }\n<\/style><div class=\"tdm-inline-image-wrap \" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tdm-image td-fix-index td-lazy-img\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABCwAAAJEAQMAAADnqyfeAAAAA1BMVEWurq51dlI4AAAAAXRSTlMmkutdmwAAAG9JREFUeNrswYEAAAAAgKD9qRepAgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADg9uCQAAAAAEDQ\/9fOsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAsAox6wABwRHV3QAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\" data-type=\"image_tag\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/dimitriosxanthopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ddx-tekeningen72dpi-149.jpg\"  title=\"ddx-tekeningen72dpi-149\" width=\"433\" height=\"612\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_12  tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_12\" >\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_12,\r\n                .tdi_12 p{\r\n\t\t\t        font-family:font-family: \\\"alfabet\\\", sans-serif;

Het is voor mij een weg tot zelfkennis, een spiegel van mijzelf en de tijd waarin ik leef. Wie ben ik en wie is de ander? Wat doe ik? Wat beweegt me en wat laat ik achter? In mijn geschilderde voorstellingen tracht ik het dualisme en de verschillende tegenstellingen die in ieder mens schuilen, zoals sterk en gevoelig, mannelijk en vrouwelijk of verstand en gevoel, met elkaar in evenwicht te brengen.\u2019<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xl-12 col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12\">Dimitrios vindt zijn werk pas goed, als het bezield is en het een eigen zeggingskracht heeft waar woorden er niet toe doen. \u2018Waarom maak ik wat ik maak?
