"Stalker", acrylic on canvas, Stamatis Skliris, 2023
Tarkovsky’s “Stalker” is a quirky, somewhat brooding, and introverted character, introduced in a previous scene where his daughter intently stares at a glass on the table, which begins to shake and move on its own. Stalker is tasked with leading three friends to the supposed “House of Truth,” a place where it is said that whoever enters discovers the real truth about their existence. To the left of the scene, a pink path leads them to the upper left of the frame, towards a house marked by a “narrow and narrow gate that leads to the truth.” Their journey takes them through a murky, labyrinthine green forest. In this setting, Stalker anxiously tries to discern the revealing paths with his searching gaze, vital to understanding the painting's meaning, symbolizing the unraveling of our destiny’s enigma. Intriguingly, the destiny is ultimately ignored by one of the three friends, who believes he loves his sick brother and wants him to live. However, upon reaching the House of Truth, he learns of his brother's death.

"Antigone and the Spirit of Tragedy", acrylic on canvas, 2020, 39x47 inch
Antigone (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιγόνη) is an Athenian tragedy written by Sophocles in (or before) 441 BC and first performed at the Festival of Dionysus of the same year. The true tragic hero of the play Antigone is the main character, Antigone, who accepts her execution in retaliation for an unjust law she knowingly broke. Her loyalty is her greatest weakness but a virtuous weakness, making her a tragic hero. The conflict at the heart of the play is between Creon and Antigone. Creon believes that Polynices should not receive a proper burial due to his role in assaulting the city of Thebes. Antigone loves her brother and wishes his soul to find peace. She violates Creon's decree, burying Polynices. In death, Antigone looks forward to being reunited with her brother Polynices, her father, Oedipus, and her mother, Jocasta. She is intense, passionate, and full of love; sometimes to a fault; she feels a heaviness of duty to her family name and the Gods, and to her, they are the same; fearless and thoughtful, takes risks, and is quick to judge; empowered by her defiance, she is proud, sensitive, and open.

"Adam's Scull, (below the Crucifixion). Rare case.", wall-painting, 2020
This detail doesn't exist anywhere, because when I painted it in a church and left, the priest said, "See, my son, Fr. Stamatis made it very alive, and I'm furious to see it". He ordered, and they erased it and drew another one more... dead! They didn't tell me, nor did I say anything about this... murder.
Luckily, I had photographed it while painting it, and it was saved only in digital form. (This is why it is being sold due to its rarity at an astronomical price of thirty-two thousand pennies and another thousands and thousands). It is talking to you.

"Lady Sacristan" (Η νεωκόρος), acrylic on canvas, Stamatis Skliris, 2022
History records some people (because they are projected, thanks to their privilege status, within the hierarchy, such as bishop), and others write history (discreetly from the background, such as this young woman). But without the Lady Sacristan (Neokoros in Greek churches), neither the bishop can function nor the ladies can offer the Prosphoro (bread for the Eucharist). Here the Lady Sacristan is painted at a particular moment when she greets the Saints in the darkness of the evening and then closes the Church.

At first glance, it is not something that impresses. But I want to emphasize that she succeeded as a painting that presents us after a deep dive into her soul, a girl very deeply sad. The Indian women have this, to carry a calm permanent sorrow. (Fr Stamatis Skliris)

"Dostoevsky in the Prison Ship ", acrylic on canvas, Stamatis Skliris, 2021
Attempting to trace Dostoevsky’s portrait visually, I started studying the shocking wound which I cut off the painting of the great established Greek painter Nektarios Mamais. It is not a human wound but the wound of a fig opuntia or prickly pear. Mamais painted one such wound in the plant’s body, and it referred me to the person of Dostoevsky, which revealed the spiritual injury of the writer when he was sentenced to prison. My painting “Dostoevsky in the Prison Ship” is about the wound. Although there is no wound visible to the eye on the artwork, it exists inherent in the heart of the painted long sentenced Dostoevsky. The wound and the attitude towards the nothingness hinting at the wound gave birth to the epic works of Dostoevsky. - Stamatis Skliris

Socrates, "I know that I know nothing", acrylic on canvas, 2021
It should be noted that this (ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα) is not recorded anywhere as a saying that Greek philosopher Socrates said, but only oral tradition exists, derived from Plato's account. But allow me a "poetic permission" to have painted it as an emblematic saying that summarizes the (as much as they could have it) HUMILITY OF THE ANCIENT PHILOSOPHICAL SPIRIT. And I also send a message to us "supposedly" theologians, to never believe that... we know God.

"Philosopher" (Fayum style), process, acrylic on canvas, Stamatis Skliris, 2021
See this painting as an example of a portrait with "internal mobility". Although a fixed head is presented, it has internal mobility. This is due to 1) the intense wave of the beards, 2) the right eyebrow (as we look), a break to the right, 3) the hairs that cover the ear, 4) the "questioning gaze" characterized by great thoughtful mobility, showing the unbridled concern of the gaze which is constantly questioned.

"The King and Ambiguous Oracle", acrylic on canvas, 2021, Stamatis Skliris
"You will go, you will (not) return, you will (not) die in the war"; ἥξεις ἀφήξεις οὐκ ἐν πολέμῳ θνήξεις. The phrase is attributed to Pythia the oracle of Delphi and signifies the ambiguity in the answers of oracles. This phrase could be taken to mean either that you were going to die or you weren't, depending on where you thought the sentence broke (after or before the word οὐκ); used even today to indicate an ambiguous meaning.

“A Window to the Aegean”, acrylic on canvas, Stamatis Skliris, April 7, 2020
Fr. Stamatis painted the painting (which continues the series with Aegean landscapes, which move him very much anyway) wondering how difficult it is for everyone to stay indoors. He proposes aesthetic solutions that open the visual horizon of any person who remains confined to four walls of one room. He suggests hanging photos and paintings on the walls with landscapes that offer our eyes wide horizons and pleasant landscapes, which amuse boredom. In fact, the painting that will function figuratively as a psychic window has a painted window, from which we enjoy the landscape of the Aegean island with the chapel, the ancient remains, and the boat and with the girl who treats us all with the desired fresh watermelon. Ontologically, we live at home, but aesthetically we also enjoy holidays in our favorite Aegean. Good endurance and blessed Pascha to everyone! May we all exit our homes, when God allows!

"Εxcessive People", acrylic on canvas, Stamatis Skliris, February 2019
Starting with the news about the refugees whom we consider to be "excesses", unnecessarily (since there is no place for them,) Fr. Stamatis began a dark canvas painting honoring the migrants and as repentance for neglect of their breaking stories. This image of "excessive people" will become even darker over the years to come. On the boat full of migrants in the middle of the sea, Christ is depicted with them because He participates in their martyrdom through his martyric death of the Cross... Those who drown are painted with bright faces floating in the sea and calmly expressing themselves as those who have overcome fear and terror.

At first, I was thinking of filling the background with thick snow and the hero wearing a thick vest. I rendered the face with a transparent turquoise color, peripherally, and once I saw how the face is shining from the white color of the canvas I changed and left the canvas uncolored. When I saw that the portrait is unfinished, I thought that the cold snow was rendered as if it were inside and not around it.

"Walt Disney Music Hall", Acrylic on canvas, June 2013
The main subject of the painting is the music hall. The metal exterior of this architecturally unique building, with its characteristic lines that collide, is offered in pictorial form. Because within this building is the temple of music, we have the anthropomorphism of music as a woman. The building appears as a type of boat within which this woman stands, and which is headed toward us.

"Nighttime in Arizona", detail, Acrylic on canvas, Phoenix - Neo Psychiko, July 2013
Night, with a huge moon and a silent starry sky above the landscape of rocks, shrubs, and cacti. A raging white horse in a blue dream runs through the Arizona desert with an upright rider, a mysterious Indian, on its back. Man has caught the animal, and the animal's momentum endangers man's balance. The silent and peaceful presence of the night and of the desert converse with the dynamic relationship between man and animal. And all those depicted are cast with the golden light of the moon.
