The paintings of Stylianos Schicho are alive and breathing. They flow and ebb, bringing the viewer intotheir worlds for closer observation and then drown us their fluidbeauty. Working on an extremely large scale Schicho explores themesof nature and observation. Many of the scenes he paints seemvoyeuristic and capture the subject in a moment of realization thatthey are being watched or vulnerability of true emotion. Theseweaknesses that are portrayed in the subjects by his gifted hand addto the strength of his oeuvre and are helping to pave a position for him asone of the top young painters in the world. Stylianos Schicho livesand works in Vienna. – Zach Tutor
