Description

This is a word map with the constellation of Ursa Major. The constellation was made according to astronomical maps and the size of the pebbles has been carefully chosen in accordance with the magnitude and brightness of the stars they represent. The stars are made with sea pebbles from Aphrodite's birth place. Thirteen billion years ago, a vacuum fluctuation formed the matter of stars. The stars produced the material of planets, asteroids, stones, pebbles....
Pebbles are indirect products of Stellar Matter that I use in my paintings to show the Universe, Stars, Constellations and Planets.
These pebbles are the expression of the fractal nature of the universe. They are unique and their resemblance is partial in various scales.
They have something self similar that gives an embossed structure in the work and makes it unprecedented and impossible to copy. In each pebble is portrayed a microcosm that constitutes a small part of the entire work making it multidimensional and unique.
The beauty is thus expressed in an infinite variety and complexity.The human being is directly connected with the universe. The microcosm and macrocosm are unison with the connecting space power. The exceptionally beautiful pebbles with the small world on them resemble with Planets and Stars.
