"...art is a 'side effect' of the artist's life...", says the greek artist Andreas Mouzakitis.

"There is only one Fine Art: Poetry... All works of art are diferent kinds of poems".

Alexis Akrithakis, greek artist 1939 - 1994/ act: Berlin & Athens

"Art is every man's right to be different. Art is a distillation of life, not a substitute for it."
"Art is I. Art is I with my child. Art is what I do and what I experience."




What is Art? (Leo Tolstoy, 1897):

"Art is a human activity having for its purpose the transmission to others of the highest and best feelings to which men have risen".

"...whereas by words a man transmits his thoughts to another, by means of art he transmits his feelings".




Gustave Flaubert, french novelist 1821 - 1880

"One must not always think that feeling is everything. Art is nothing without form."
  • Letter to Madame Louise Colet (August 12, 1846)





Hippocrates' Aphorisms


"Ὁ βίος βραχὺς, ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρὴ, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὀξὺς, ἡ δὲ πεῖρα σφαλερὴ, ἡ δὲ κρίσις χαλεπή".

"Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile".

"Life is short, [the] art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment dangerous, judgment difficult".



Hippocrates, ancient greek physician ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC
