"Cypress" sculpture by Costas Varotsos
We had all the content (photographic and text) about Varotsos newest sculpture project since last month but we made a promise to the artist not to publish it until its inauguration (a couple of days ago, 20.02.2013). "Cypress" sculpture is placed in the Minoas Matsa's Square within the castle of Ioannina. "Cypress" does not exceed 4 metres in height and is totally harmonised with the environment and space of the castle and generally with the mountainous region of Epirus. It is an artwork connected with the Epirotic stone and soul.
We think that only two artists have managed to "manipulate" and give "fluidity" to the stone, Gaudi and Varotsos, and it is not a compliment.
