“Creation is not the result of what we want to do. It is the result of the whole cosmic process….If one approaches it right, he can give it form….The only thing that prompts this kind of vision is love…I mean the whole love, eros and agape, the divine and human reconciled, as the Greeks knew it…. This is what I am trying to do, to reconcile man and the cosmos.”
—Michael Lekakis
“I still think of painting as existing in the space between the thinker and the listener between the everyday self and the more fundamental self. This is the drive behind the painting. To find that inner self.”
— Despina Konstantinides, In Conversation with Irene Archos
