Panos Famelis – Fragments and Dust

Panos Famelis presents his latest body of work, Fragments and Dust, at Nitra Gallery, curated by Aliki Tsirliagkou.

The works, created between 2021 and 2025, include two-dimensional wall pieces as well as three-dimensional compositions. From the very beginning of his career, Famelis has been exploring the potential of matter as a fundamental component in shaping pictorial space. He gravitates towards heavy materials, oil paints, pencil, and graphite, yet handles lighter mediums such as watercolors with equal mastery. His drawing is always the result of the processing of material tied directly to the support of each work: wood, paper, or metal structures.

Since his first solo exhibition in 2005, Famelis has produced large-scale works, sculptural experiments, videos, performances, and monumental drawings. Across all these explorations, the common thread is the energy required to bring them into being, a force evident both in the artist’s gestures and in the production process itself.
