Impressionism Art with an Expressionistic Twist
Sokratis Evgenidis uses both oil and mixed paints to express his unique style of art. His inexhaustible theme triggers emotions in viewers, mainly with reference to nature, the Greek landscape and the sea.
His paintings, created using brushes and palette knives, express modern, contemporary, free and decisive movements, influenced by impressionism, yet with an expressionistic twist.
Without always avoiding contours, but often with an abstract predisposition, he prefers to guide the view and perception of viewers, through intense colour correlations and an entirely personal style. The unique relationship he develops on the canvas with the colours, techniques and materials is shaped a lyricism, which is the result of the religious devotion that Sokratis Evgenidis has found in the unwritten rules of this exquisite art.
In the period 1983 – 1988, he participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Greece and abroad. In 1985, he was suggested, in a national painting competition, in Piraeus, as best younger, talented painter in Greece. His paintings can be found in art venues, Museums, Art Galleries and private collections.
