Love & Art's Third Volume entails drawings conceived and poetry written during the year of bursting creativity, while travelling through Greece and partaking in a workshop for local and visiting artists in Athens. Artistic communication happens instantly. Even without the knowledge of Greek, most artists could take their pencils, brushes, and any drawing instruments to express their moods, feelings, and pent-up passions for their art. Returning from a visit to the sacred sites of antiquity, I felt the urge to merge my love for Classical and Hellenistic antiquity with my search to express it through a fusion with my own contemporary style, which I have been developing over the years. However, the name of a style is secondary; first and foremost, art will speak to those who will feel its expression and the drama contained within the dialogue of drawing and its related poem. the drawings in my workbook merged with poems written off the cuff, which happened immediately and inspired each other's outcomes in a continuous dialogue. In this third volume of recollections of that creative time, the artist enjoyed the flow of interactive inspiration, continuing the dialogue with his responses of an inner revolt to his varied environments, while travelling through Greece, and communicating to his fellow artists and friends through the medium of the Internet.
