About Ilias Matthaiopoulos

The work of Ilias Matthaiopoulos is fatally intertwined with the incredible power of his colour palette.

The quality of light, shades, matching colours and alternations dictates behaviour.

About this sculpture

Impressive originality! Linking a visual creation with a deeper encrypted message and meaning... The words SATOR, AREPO, TENET, OPERA, ROTAS form the so-called magical square, whereby the word tenet creates a cross whose four ends end in a tau. The content is interpreted as follows: "The Transporter Coil keeps its wheels carefully." This is a symbolic expression found in Pompeii before 79 AD, read horizontally and vertically, and is one of its most remarkable cross symbols for Christians of the first three Christian centuries.
