One of my largest artworks is inspired by a well known building of my hometown, Thessaloniki. Designed by a Jewish architect and owned by an upper class Jewish family 100 years ago, stands as a reminder of my city's multicultural past. I created the artwork having as a guide the architectural sketches and as the material photographs of the city life 100 years ago taken from the municipality's archive. I used b&w for the building and the negative of the same photos for the background. I used liquid glue for pasting and to varnish the artwork which was mounted on a very heavy 170,100cm wooden board. That was a really bad idea which resulted to the destruction of the artwork due to bad storage conditions. Lesson learned!

It's interesting to combine b&w and negative photos @georgeboya I like the woman and the moon on rooftop.

Quite a sad story about final destruction, but simply stunning combination here. Very interesting to look into smaller details, like sinking deeper and deeper... :)

Thank you @axeman:) Sometimes while you are learning your medium you make the wrong choices and you end with a ruined artwork, It is part of the process:)

Greetings darling, how are you?
I like this collage and it saddens me to read that you lost your job because of the material you used, the good thing is that you will not commit this same mistake again in your other works, so I think something good is left of all this. ;)

Good morning sweet Carmen, i am fine:) How are you?:)
I am very happy that you like the artwork. Don't be sad, i am not, technicaly it was not a good artwork. Sometimes you have a good idea but if you dont have the knowledge to support it with technical skill, it is ruined. Yes i learned a lot from this lesson. And other lessons also, art is quite the teacher, hahaha
