Greece is one of a small handful of European countries that executed a swift and strict lockdown, and consequently was able to ease restrictions before everybody else, too. Therefore you can actually visit the Mythologies Exhibition at the Match More Gallery as if it was a totally normal thing to do, and not a rare treat during a global pandemic ( although please do everyone a favour and don't go if you suspect that you have it ).

The artwork on display is a framed collection of my postcard art - that is, nine postcards are mounted inside a single frame. There is no theme, except that they are all in the pointillist or geometric style, and composed only on watercolour paper using black ink and Rotring technical drawing pens.
