WEB SITE: The artist has created (during July 2007) a site in the internet in order to exhibit a representative sample of his paintings that he has been painting from1966. Due to the various techniques and methods that the artist used and continues to use, (trying always to discover and apply something new and original in his art), his sample contained initially 5000 of his paintings. For this reason as name of the site was chosen the: www.artmine5000.com . In Jun 2008 his site contains more than 8.100 paintings, groped in more than 540 folders (per category), and it will be updated from time to time as additional paintings will be uploaded to reach a minimum of 10.000.

As is previously explained in detail in the chapter “Techniques”, his work is groped into three main categories. Category A contains paintings that he painted with a variety of materials on various media. Category B includes paintings that he painted on paper, with emphasis in colour combinations, and then he scanned and entered in the computer and processed by various tools in order to achieve impressive effects. Category C contains paintings produced by the combination of one of his paintings and a photo, or by processing photos in the computer taken from his large file.

The visitor can choose, by clicking, to open a folder with 15 small paintings, and by clicking in each of these small paintings he can see them larger, (about 20X26 cm. i.e. 8X10.4 in.) and with mach more details. All paintings are heaving a unique code, which indicates also its category. The titles of the first 19 folders of Group 1 are accompanying the tables, while the titles of the paintings of the first 42 folders of Group 2 are given in separate folders (C1, C2, and C3), per category. The titles in the above two Groups are covering also all the titles of the paintings of the two published catalogs of the artist. On the other hand, for most of the paintings of all other Groups the artist has given no titles. This is done in order to give to the visitor the opportunity to see, with his own imagination, what he wants to see, and not to be influenced by the artist’s title, which indicates what the artist had in mind when he created his work.

The fact that the actual size of the paintings is usually 100X75 cm. (40X30 in.) and the majority of them includes many figures and many details together with the main subject, makes it very difficult to give a representative picture of the painting in a usual site (where the volume of the file is limited by the time you need to open it in the internet). The same is valid for a printed catalog where also the dimensions are limited. Therefore you have to see the actual painting in order to fully appreciate and enjoy its contents.

In other folders-pages the visitor can have more information about the artist and his work i.e. C.V. publications, exhibitions, comments by art experts of various countries, etc. All the text is in English and in Greek, and certain items are in French, while later it will be also given in German, Spanish, Italian and Russian.

Furthermore the visitor is heaving information about the way he can obtain the paintings he prefers, and especially, for certain of them, in the form of ”mixed media”. These ”mixed media” are created by printing on various media (canvas, plexiglas, etc.) and in various sizes, and the artist continues to work on the printings after they are produced (with oils, acrylics etc.) so that they become unique and different from any other, and therefore original. This fact allows them to have a considerably lower price than the conventional paintings of category A. (Printings in ”mixed media”, are also most of the paintings created with the help of the computer, either alone or in combination with photos).

Also the artist decided to include in March 2008 in his site some of his experiences from ‘‘astral travels’’ and his contacts with extraterrestrials, which experiences were also one of the sources of his inspiration. (See pages II_1D and II_1D1).

The visitors are also encouraged to send their comments to the artist, including their evaluation on some of the paintings they choose to evaluate, helping in this way the artist to concentrate his effort to those of his techniques that are more appreciated by the public.

Finally, since the artist is at the same time a poet, the site contains also a selection of hundreds of his poems in Greek, as well as a selection of hundreds of jocks he collected for the entertainment of the visitor (also only in Greek).
