Inner Galaxies
Kleanthis Michael presents his series of detailed micro - illustrations for the first time in his exhibition Inner Galaxies. The series consists of twenty pieces, which were created during the last two years. The artist is giving a visual account of his experiences during these past two years, expressing all he has been through on paper, whilst comparing them to a long-winding trip inwards. That inner universe is filled with intense conflicting emotions, needs, dilemmas, but also life-changing decisions.
The artist comments that “the greatest journeys you ever go on are the ones headed inwards; these are journeys solely embarked upon by yourself, and solely for yourself. Through these, you exceed your limits, meeting that other self – one you do not even know – and lose control. Therefore, your strength, as well as your faith in yourself, are all put to the test. That is precisely the place and time where yourself is not the first priority. Every decision paves the way and changes the quality and duration of the journey. Each one of us needs their time to gaze at their personal truth and face it, so that the light at the end of the tunnel is visible. When escape occurs, you will be reborn, rejuvenated; full of strength, new morals, respect and love. The journey goes on through life, understanding and respecting the greatness of each and every aspect of it.”
Kleanthis Michael was born in Limassol and went on to completed his university studies in Epsom, United Kingdom, acquiring a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design: New Media. Upon his arrival back to Cyprus, his attention shifted towards his passion about handicraft and the macramé technique. His jewellery brand Blue Lotus Macramé, founded three years ago, is true to his design aesthetics and continues to gain popularity within the island. Meanwhile, he has begun to express his thoughts and ideas via drawing and sketching, by creating his own ink microcosms with impeccable detail.
