Yiorgoς: Draft my Abode

“Begin to begin and live to live…What one day brings another will forgive"

"I leap from cloud to cloud and collect raindrops for everyone to enjoy"

"I was born in the wrong era so I must continue to live in this one"

"A blank page of continuous white... with my mind to create what is to be seen in the night"

"The moon that rises... is full of subtle surprises"

-Yiorgos 2007

"You may look yet never see but it is I who am free because I truly choose to be"

"It is in the best interest of the man who thinks and not sees what lies beyond the unnoticed"

"I am so old school...You can call me Kindergarten"

"I will give my shoes and the shirt off my back but when my feet tire and it gets cold will you give them back"

"When Life hands me nuts I ask my Yiayia to help me make Baklava"

Draft my Abode

Allowing the cold to draft my abode
From window’s crack snuck in on God’s breath it rode
Chilly sensation feeling the grip
An ominous sign shiver from the lips

Feeding my hunger I caress the fear
Sensing the nothing that approaches ever near
I understand what lurks is not man
One thing I can not deny as I still seek my master plan

Taken from what is not apparent
Reappeared again under stress ridden deterrent
My mind feels the cold which crept in unwanted
Walking the line with the bold and the untainted

Saturated by breeze that causes my demise
Editing my page the wind can only revise
Confusing glows and grows from anger
Frustrated from the time I spend searching for the danger

Aloud I yell and rip the mess from my breast
Watching from afar as the one’s who can chatter about what is best
I now choose to lock the pain that cracks
Glass separates my pain and prevents nature’s vicious attacks

Yiorgos' Bio

Yiorgos’ delicately rendered graphite drawings reflect the sublime stoicism of Greek architecture. A Greek American, Yiorgos grew up hearing stories about his family’s years in Greece and their struggles during World War II. He became fascinated with his heritage, traveling to Santorini, Mykonos, The Cyclades and other Greek locales and observing them carefully. Based on photographs he has taken, Yiorgos’ black and white drawings are triumphant as they depict empty streets, white-washed walls, and uninterrupted expanses of sky or sea. Despite the absence of figures or other direct signs of daily life, the drawings reverberate with the liveliness of Greek history. The colorless quietude in Yiorgos’ scenes is open-ended, inviting viewers to imagine the vibrant colors and activity that shaped them. The extreme detail with which Yiorgos draws captures the nuances of Mediterranean landscape while also imbuing it with a nostalgic splendor. Born in Asbury Park, Yiorgos lives and works in Long Branch, New Jersey.
