Dimitri Likissas

Dimitri Likissas (1969) was born and raised in Belgium and has Greek roots. Around his early 20’s he moved to the Caribbean where his career evolved from being a graphic designer to a corporate director of a media publishing company.

From that point forward he has turned into a full time artist painter and his creations have discovered their way into numerous private collections mostly in Europe and America.

His colored dots arrangements, transform imagery into abstract/geometric forms. He explores the unlimited potential of chromatic and tonal scale, visual planes and volume with a two-dimensional framework. Viewing his dynamic works of art is an exciting optical experience.

Dimitri Likissas pursues color relationship and brings a considerable dexterity of color theory, a deep-seated sense of rhythm and formational aspects to each painting. From nearby his paintings exuberate an expression of mystery and wonder. (From close we just see colored dots, our conscious can’t interpret what it’s seeing, while from far, the dots melt into a cosmos which we immediately understand.

His wish is to take his art observers on imaginary journeys as they wander and unravel the optical effects of his paintings. He says, “I hope that my art invites observation and lets viewers have visual discoveries.”
