Vasli Vasilis
Vasilis' oeuvre is distinguished by themes of entrapment, restriction, separation, and partition, serving as profound meditations on life. Through the intertwined lenses of philosophy and art, he investigates the nature of existence by delving into the mysteries of death.
In his architectural creations, Vasilis constructs passages that bridge the here and now with the there and beyond, inviting viewers to engage with these transitional spaces both visually and physically. His work is deeply rooted in the rich cultural and architectural heritage of Greece, particularly the Epirus region, where he was born and raised, now resides in Halifax, NS.
Vasilis draws inspiration from spaces imbued with spiritual significance and from structures integral to defense systems. His fascination extends to ancient tombs, which he regards as unparalleled windows into the societies that erected them. These monuments offer profound insights into the character and values of their civilizations, further enriching his artistic exploration.
