3 Signed & Numbered
"PETER APOSTOLOS" PRINTS
Little Venice, Mykonos & La Fafitte's
These "pencil signed" prints were left over inventory from the local frame shop that had to close its doors.
Their loss is your gain as you can get these gorgeous prints at a great discount to their true value!
All prints are in perfect framing condition with possible bent corners but would be hidden when framed.
They all measure 26 x 19 inches.
Prints will be rolled in mailing tubes with tissue to save on shipping expense unless requested otherwise by buyer.
A new shipping cost would have to be calculated to be shipped flat.
See pictures closely for additional descriptions.
We take shipping very seriously, quality materials and all precautions taken.
Please use the excellent "supersized" images for additional details.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us as we always respond quickly.
Quoted by Apollon Art Gallery:
Peter Apostolos, who was raised in a traditional Greek household, in the heart of San Fransisco, traces his heritage back to Kalamata on the Peloponese, in Greece. Always interested in expressing himself, life originally led him in directions other than the world of art, until he visited the island of Mykonos.
Virtually self taught, he has achieved a variety of things. He served in Germany, attended architecture school, and worked in the restaurant businessfor many years.
After a visit to Greece, he became so inspired by the people and places he saw around him. He spent every day tirelessly rendering subject after subject.
Beginning with graphite sketches, quickly progressing to pen, watercolor, and finally oils, his style evolved more and more into a very detailed and clean look. A born perfectionist, he worked until he was beyond content. And it all paid off.
He opened a gallery in Mykonos, that became an overnight success with the locals and tourists alike. The combination of his raw talent and relentless depictions of light and detail gained loyal clientele and friends from Dubai, Australia, Germany, England, France, and Canada, to the United States, where he later opened another gallery in the beautiful French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. This is where he chose to finally settle down, and remains there to this day.
He spent summers with the tourists at his gallery in Mykonos, and winters studying the rich culture, history, and architecture of New Orleans. Any other free time was used exploring places like Morocco, Turkey, and Egypt. And he never slowed down, always painting, managing to show at over fifty exhibitions worldwide, pushing himself to grow as an artist, "I paint as I feel, my own style by my own standards. Through trial and error, I solve the difficulty of a accomplishing a particular result. I paint that which captivates my senses in a way to give pleasure and relate my feelings. I want others to experience my emotions and senses at that moment in my art."
The ambiance may vary, but no matter the place or time, his paintings consistently depict the life and being of his environment. Whether it be the vibrant colors, the relaxing and awe inspiring feelings of his island scenes, or the old world mystery and charm of Louisiana. His consistency has caught the eyes of international critics, who refer to his work as "Detailed Realism." He was also featured in the Kodak film, "A Celebration in Pictures."
As a creator, this international recognition has only spurred him to take an even more scrupulous attitude towards his work and his discipline and concentration towards detail and light.
