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:
fantastic stage design
hard candies all over the stage
plus a boxing match
brilliant vector graphics
she was plain awesome…
extraordinary performance from Her Madgesty and dancers
great video wall
a non-stop changing stage design
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.
Hidden…
Piece of cake…
