Sculptor Andreas Lolis had his opening tonight at Ellinogermaniki Agogi. Here is a small report from the exhibition.

Yesterday I went to the first ever Madonna concert in Athens! Along with me, there were about 75.000 people in the Olympic stadium waiting for Her spell. Lucky me, I was in pitch A, almost 10 meters away from the stage.

So, here is my slideshow report:

and below some selected photos:

Below are some photos from the sculpture symposium I have just participated in.
All sculptures have been made as a part of the upcoming sculpture museum in Elliniko, a village near Ioannina, Greece, to honor Sculptor and Athens School of Fine Arts Professor Theodoros Papayiannis.

Some general views from the sculpture park:


This is my “digital gear”, the piece I made for the symposium:

Some photos from my summer holidays in Crete. Although Panormo (a village near Rethymno) isn’t the best place to be, I must admit “Spilies” beach is a fantastic place.
