In this category you can see 25 selected romantic and inspirational paintings of Vasilis Bottas. They constitute a collection of very beautiful multistyle paintings, with people, animals and places. The list of the pieces of art in the website is not exhaustive, but represents some of the themes and styles with which Vasilis has dealt and do not belong to any other category.
In these artworks we see paintings featuring social messages: a homeless man, a lonely woman, a girl in poverty, another in despair. The painter is aware and interest in depicting artistically the human sentiment. But, not only the negative ones : we see female dancers in ecstasy, a tender scene of a little girl keeping a bunny in her lap, another one feeling the calm presence of a horse and a warrior that spiritually awakes from the gathering of the wild wolves in a fantastic, phenomenal scenery.
Vasilis is interested much in the connection between humans and animals, especially horses, which are usual protagonists in his paintings both in a naturalist representation or more abstract. Dogs, wolves and foxes follow.
A section dedicated to the beauty of the Greek islands is among these 25 romantic and inspirational paintings. Vasilis transferred in canvas a glimpse of Mykonos, Santorini and Sifnos, though the fact that he has never visited even a single one of them. He used the photogenic corners of these islands captured in films to make an artistic representation in canvas, but he masterly added elements of his imagination to give a more dramatic and atmospheric tone: the sky becomes awe-inspiring, an open window gives depth, the seabirds, motion and energy and a glass of wine, romance, connection and love.
The viewer feels enchanted by the image, or become part of active, playful scene, a memory of summer vacation comes to our mind with these relaxing artworks.
And last but not least, the subdivision of Paris related paintings in this category, another place that he has never visited. He transfers us to the old romantic Paris of the 19th century, with an impressionist glance, in one of the most classical and classy at the same time performance in his beautiful multistyle artistic collection. These paintings are characterized by the richness of colours, the mastery of light that looks like coming naturally from the urban elements, the reflections and the attribution of the depth.
