George Anastasiadis | “Memento Mori”, 2022
Original Art. Faber Castell watercolors on canvas.
45 x 35 cm. Signed.
“Memento Mori” ( in Latin ) is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of Death.
Here, the crystal ball symbolizes the soul with the shadow underneath it, taking the form of a well-paved road that has reached its end. The Light above the small well represents the transition, the open window, the Heaven represents the feeling of “Justice,” and the dark well means eternal oblivion.
I would like to repost something from the net that “popped” in my face “accidentally” some hours after I finished this artwork…” -George Anastasiadis

George Anastasiadis was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1968.
Anastasiadis works as a physical therapist in a public rehabilitation center for the disabled but likes to paint. He is a self-taught painter. His artistic journey started during high school, and he was lucky to have a fantastic art teacher, the beloved Nikos Paralis.
He automatically paints images that originate from the subconscious. Dozens of symbols and messages are hidden in his paintings, and he belongs to the surrealists he admires.
“Painting is a confession. It communicates with the world, a deposit of the artist’s soul. He hides “a little piece of the soul” in his paintings.”
George Anastasiadis believes everything stagnates, wears out, becomes sloppy, and dies. Everything that surrounds us and inside us is a harmonious and indivisible whole. We are immortal elements and parts of the universe. Nothing absurd or scary. Everything is simple and in our nature, just like art. His paintings come from his inner will to find and improve himself through his philosophical, rational, and metaphysical quests. His goal is to consistently evolve into a better version of himself.
He has taken part in many exhibitions in Greece and abroad, and his works have been awarded many times.
