Beyond the originality and the exotic character of a retreat in Crete for the creation of my performance, I found a sense of serenity and depth that allowed me to bring a new dimension to my work. The island’s effect on me [was] powerful. Its nature, its sea, and above all its unique energy helped me refocus on what truly matters: myself and the artistic process. Everything superficial naturally fades away in this context—and that’s a blessing.

Yorgos’ work is in perfect continuity with what Crete awakens in me: a deeper anchoring in the body, access to buried emotions, the courage to take risks, and the pursuit of a sincerity that can only enrich the creative process.

More than an artistic approach, it is a true journey into the depths of the soul — one that seeks to serve art in its most authentic form.”
