"I’m a Ridiculous Man", acrylic on canvas, 2021, Christos Kexagioglou
I’m a ridiculous person. So, with an assumption, between the nightmare and reality, an inner journey begins. The bed, which can be both a sanctuary and a hell, is depicted as a vessel that will lead to self-knowledge, responsibility, sacrifice, and redemption through the labyrinthine worlds of demons. A journey that never ends: "And I will continue to search, to search!"
