E. Mavronas

Evangelos Mavronas belongs to those painters that humbly and tenaciously reproduce post-byzantine creations and specifically Cretan painters.
His choices are not guided by a dehydrated adherence in past models but by the need of creative reformation of, work valorised in the conscience of church, famous at their time artists. Present requirements often lie in more fertile past resorts than those that barren historism offers.
Mavronas collaborates for years with the Benaki Museum, supplying its shop with copies of known pictures from the museums collections.
Solid studies, inspiration and, above all, his artistic sensitivity constitute pledges for the quality of his work.

This is not the first time that the Ministry of Culture collaborates with the artist Evangelos Mavronas. For many years he receives work in which the sensitivity of his paintbrush, competes the essential character that work as the Byzantines and the post
Byzantine pictures have.
Mavronas does not make plain copies; he tries to infuse in the copy the charm and the blow of the prototype. I believe he manages eminently.
