A new painting exhibition by Ilias Papailiakis is being hosted at “Upstairs Berlin” gallery, in the capital of Germany until the end of July.
The 40-year-old Cretan painter has exhibited three times in Berlin so far. This exhibition named “Dresden” has as a main theme centering on the injury of the human existence.
His source of inspiration was the distruction of the city from the allies. He is eager to show that every human achievement is based on rotten foundations. Within his scope, he catches the soul of people carrying the injuries of history. He does not over present the victim and the victimizer. Characteristics of his paintings are reformation of details of a portrait and natural figures through the perspective of nature or pictures.
Ilias Papailiakis studied at the School of Fine Arts, 1990-1996. He has been honored with many prizes and he represented Greece in Biennale, Venice, in 2001. A great number of his masterpieces are found in Greek and foreign galleries
