Pomegranates and grapes, 2017

The inspired theme of the painter Ilias Matthaiopoulos emphasizes self-sufficiency, as a prestige of the Arcadian land… !!! The grape is a blessed fruit of bliss… Pomegranate is a symbol of life, fertility and good luck… The pitcher is a container for storing the fruits of the earth and the rich harvest. Alongside and at the same time the broken pitcher, the pitcher of our existence, of our human and imperfect existence, in its endless journey from antiquity to the present, in our idyllic, theocratic and legendary place, to remind us of the heavy debt of preservation and utilisation of our natural environment: "Arkades gar esmen".
