Rose Water DIY

Καλησπέρα! 

Λοιπόν, η σημερινή μέρα είναι αρκετά βροχερή, τουλάχιστον εκεί που μένω εγώ, οπότε αφού θα μείνω που θα μείνω σπίτι, αποφάσισα να κάνω κάτι χρήσιμο. Και αυτό σημαίνει μόνο ένα πράγμα: DIY!

The Scarlet Letter

"Had there been a non-Puritan among the crowd of Puritans, he might have seen in this beautiful woman, so picturesque in her attire and appearance, and with the infant at her bosom, an object to remind him of the image of Divine Maternity, which so many illustrious painters have competed with one another to represent;

Κατά την σύντομη διαμονή μου στα Χανιά, επισκέφτηκα τγην δημοτική πινακοθήκη της πόλης, η οποία φιλοξενεί έκθεσε με έργα του Ελληνοαμερικανού Κρις Γιανάκος, ο οποίος στο έργο του, με

Les dieux ont soif

Fresco

In this post i gathered some of the paintings i have watched in person so far and left me breathless. The first painting is made by Nikolaos Gyzis and depicts the foundation of faith. here, the painter depicts the archangel like an ancient Greek warrior, fighting for his ideals, his Faith. The second

Empire

The title of this post is "Empire" because it contains all the photos i shot during my recent visit to the War Museum and the Byzantine Museum in Athens. It is about the Byzantine Empire, where the main symbol was the eagle (at first and as the empire expanded the two-headed eagle to show an

May Day

These are some pics from my countryhouse, where my parents love to spend their time doing their hobbies, like watering the plants, harvesting, fishing and more. I went there at the first day of May, so

Cosmos

Hello everyone! I guess this is my first post about my works of art. To be honest i fell kinda insecure to show my work out to everyone, because unlike a selfie or a picture of mine in the city with a cute outfit, where i can show to people whatever i want to show, i am full in control of my image, in

Dreamer

Hello! Have you ever heard Ozzy song "Dreamer" with these lyrics "i am a dreamer, a dreamer, i dream of life faraway..." 

Well, this is a major trait of my character, since i constantly dream of future plans, of the awesome people i will meet in the future, of the cool places i have note yet seen...I do not know, i think that life

Amor Fati

Even though at first glance we see no meaning between the title i chose and the main image of my article, well there is a connection.

Amor fati is a Latin term that refers to the teachings of Epictetus and later used by Nietzsche in his work "The Gay Science" that describes the love of a man for his fate. It means to love your fate. And

Rainy Island

So, here are some pics from my recent short trip to Euboea, an island next to Attica. There we stayed in Chalkis, the main city of this islands which literally mean "Copper City". And yes as you can see there is a Trojan Horse in there! Remember Achilles, Odysseus and the rest of Heroes at Homer's

Black and Gold

Just a black and gold inspiration for you!

Dark Ages Craftsmanship

The title of this post implies that all the pics i am about to show you here constitute jewelry that were made during the medieval time, in Europe and also in Greece. Well, the pics are scattered in my spot, but those crafted by silver and dark gems are jewels made in western Europe and pretty much symbolize the rough times back then and also the probable dark and pessimist disposition of the Europeans back then. On the contrary, the jewelry depicted with big colourful gems and crafted by gold, were found in Greece, and were made during the Byzantine Era and later, during the Turkish

The Elitist

The Elitist

Όπως φανερώνει και ο τίτλος, για εμένα ο Καβάφης αποτελεί το τέλειο πρότυπο του ελιτιστή, ενός ανθρώπου του οποίου οι απολαύσεις δεν είναι σαν των «κοινών ανθρώπων». Αριστοκράτης, ξεπεσμένος ναι, αλλά πάντα αριστοκράτης, στα ποιήματά του μπορεί να μιλάει για τα πιο απαισιόδοξα και μάταια πράγματα με μια γοητεία που σε κάνει να θες να διαβάσεις και να αναλύσεις τα ποιήματά του.

Οι ήρωές του είτε είναι ηλικιωμένοι, όπως το πρώτο ποίημα που επέλεξα, οι οποίοι ατενίζουν τα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής τους με θλίψη για όσα δεν τόλμησαν ποτέ να κάνουν, είτε εθνικοί, οι
