Sokratis Romilios is an artist, filmmaker and screenwriter based in Greece whose paintings have
been featured in solo exhibitions nationally, as well as in the
United States, China, and France. He employs abstraction and
automatic writing to express the "constant flow of life,
emotions, and thoughts". Romilios creates intuitively and likens
abstract art to life, as he believes that it is more important to
live than to understand.
Artist Statement
I started painting at a very young age since my mother taught me to
paint.
For me, painting is
my oxygen and my refuge in difficult times.
When I paint I feel
that I am creating my own world without limits. I use abstract
shapes and automatic writing which result from improvisation.
Abstract art encompasses all aspects of life.
Abstract art, it is
like life, since it is more important to live than to understand.
I use abstract
shapes and automatic writing to express the constant flow of life,
emotions and thoughts. Through painting I give myself time to observe
them and reconcile with them.
