Artwork 2, 2025 _{An Abstract, Oil on Canvas, Painting}

This large-scale oil painting, measuring 100 cm × 170 cm, presents a face emerging from a storm of dark brushstrokes, fiery red accents, and stark white highlights. The fragmented forms and heavy textures create a sense of movement, evoking both mystery and power.

Antonakos masterfully uses a dramatic color palette dominated by deep blacks and grays, which contrast with vibrant flashes of red and orange, adding depth and emotional weight to the piece. The rough, almost sculptural layering of paint reinforces the work’s edgy and thought-provoking nature, inviting viewers to interpret the underlying emotions within its abstract forms.

This statement artwork is perfect for contemporary interiors, making an impact in a modern living room, luxury loft, or gallery space. It also fits seamlessly into a high-end office, adding a bold and sophisticated presence to the environment. Antonakos, a self-taught Greek artist with studies at the Vakalo Art and Design College and the Athens School of Fine Arts, is known for his dynamic exploration of form, light, and emotion.
