Dimitri Papatheodorou

Dimitri Papatheodorou is a practicing painter, musician and architect. His studio is located just outside the town of Warkworth east of Toronto, Canada. “Within these modest-sized portals, the paintings of Dimitri Papatheodorou live out a life where space, time and history overlap. They are interior spiritual spaces, perceptual thresholds made material in painting that invite the viewer to enter and experience transcendence. These rooms that are not rooms, are reminiscent of the luminescent paintings of Caravaggio and Hugo van der Goes, whose use of chiaroscuro and fine layers of glaze achieved an otherworldly quality of light and emanation.” – Mimi Gellman
