limited edition graphic print by Spiros based on his pen drawings on 260 gram art paper, A4 size is ca. 29 x 30 cm ( ca. 8" by 12").
"Moon Statue" presents a striking scene where a Cycladic figure stands tall and serene under the light of a full moon. Positioned on a pile of rocks, the statue evokes a sense of quiet guardianship, its timeless form illuminated by the moon's glow. Beside the figure, an ancient olive tree adds a natural element, its intricate lines mirroring the figure’s simplicity and the rugged texture of the rocks. The juxtaposition of the human form with the natural landscape creates a scene of harmony, suggesting a deep connection between history, nature, and the divine presence of the moon. This piece encapsulates the stillness and reflection found in moments of solitude, where the past and present converge under the eternal light of the moon.
