By favoring the use of glass and iron, Varotsos’ vibrant sculptures offer a reflection on the constant movement of life. The dialogue between these materials – a visual combination of strength and fragility – is central to his work and creates energetic images of great impact. Whether the artist works on outdoor monumental scales or indoor on his smaller formats, Varotsos embraces glass as the perfect material to interact with the space his artworks occupy. The layering of the different glass strips that fill the iron frames (in the shape of recurring geometries such as the circle or the triangle, or of symbolic images, like the moon), thus offer an interesting viewing experience, with sculptures that constantly change according to the light and, alternating transparencies and opacities, balance and dynamism, become poetic visions.
