'My arteries are brushes, my blood is the color'

 

‘ARTery’ explores the intimate connection between my organism and the creative process, where my arteries pulse with vitality and their heartbeat fuels the flow of imagination. 
 
‘The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart’ - George Sand 


My internal rhythm becomes the brushstroke and blood is the pigment, as every stroke is reflection of life itself, merging the organic with the artistic in a dialogue between body and canvas. 
 
Blood no longer flows.. it is time for the color... 
 
‘Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment’ - Claude Monet

The phrase, my arteries are brushes, my blood is the color, speaks to the very essence of creation: a continuous circulation of energy, emotion, and expression.

  Regarding the use of the word Artery [from the Greek word "αρτηρία"]   It is applied so as to highlight the concentric biomorphic features of the artworks. As the arteries deliver the human blood from the heart to different parts of the body, in a circular motion,   Petrakis is attempting to map an Anatomy of Artificial Intelligence, as a living being which expands in all aspects of modern life.   Wires as optic nerves in the QR works.    A heart statuette that defines endosymbiosis.   Video projections and bio politics.   All the means of applied digital knowledge as a study of neuroscience and cognitive behavior.   Protection / Isolation / Community    Infinite borders of ever increasing automation.   Technology is the dominant currency.   Every communication is dilated through machinery.   Life as simulation / Software emulation    From Homo Sapiens to Homo Ludens [the man who plays, Latin] and Game Des...
