CHRISTOU, Mattheos 

The forms in Mattheos Christou paintings capture a fraction of the essence of our time. Their rich, sensitive world can be seen through the serene and peaceful curved lines of the emotional realm. Even a restless but intuitive observer can become the receiver of a combination of movement, rhythm and colour.

The faces stare upwards seeking for the truth. This truth has its origins in the depths of the Prehistoric era; it passes through the Byzantine spirituality to come out as whirlwinds of civilization. The circular lines are bridges, which unite the past with the present. They spring from our memories of the gaps between different eras of our civilization and with the utilisation of the emotions they arch the chasms.
