Kunstverket som vises på denne siden er beskyttet av opphavsretten, noe som betyr at vi ikke har juridisk tillatelse til å lage eller selge identiske reproduksjoner. Denne beskyttelsen håndheves i henhold til internasjonale avtaler som for eksempel Bernerkonvensjonen og av nasjonale lover, inkludert de som er fastsatt i Amerikansk lov om opphavsrett – Tittel 17.
Denne metoden er i fullt samsvar med opphavsrettslige regler, da den ikke innebærer kopiering eller duplisering av det beskyttede kunstverket. I stedet er det snakk om en kreativ nytolkning – et nytt maleri som er inspirert av originalen, men ikke identisk med den.

Skriv inn ønsket bredde og høyde for å tilpasse trykket til din ramme eller vegg. Et trykk kan kun beskjæres, aldri skaleres opp utover motivets opprinnelige størrelse, noe som betyr at et format med andre proporsjoner vil føre til tap av deler av bildet. Vi sender deg en digital mockup for godkjenning før vi starter trykkeprosessen. Bildet som vises på denne siden viser ikke den faktiske beskjæringen — det er kun mockuppen som viser dette.

Om kunstneren
The lines of a dual life
Nikos Engonopoulos lived through a period where the boundaries between words and images often blurred. Born in Athens in 1907, his early years were marked by a move to Constantinople during the first World War. This movement between places preceded a formative time in Paris, where he studied at a lycee from 1923 to 1927. Upon returning to Greece, he followed the path of many of his generation, completing military service and working in various roles, from a bank translator to a designer for the Urban Planning Department of the Greek Ministry of Public Works.
His training at the Athens School of Fine Arts between 1932 and 1938 brought him into contact with teachers like Konstantinos Parthenis and Yannis Kefallinos. He also spent time as an apprentice to Fotis Kontoglou, absorbing the spirit of Byzantine art. This education was not confined to a single classroom; he sought out independent studies in Munich and several Italian cities. These varied exposures allowed him to develop a way of seeing that pulled from many different eras at once.
A language of symbols
The work produced by Engonopoulos often relies on the unexpected placement of figures. He used techniques such as egg tempera on wood, engraving, and woodcutting to bring together elements that do not naturally belong in the same space. His paintings frequently feature mythological characters, military figures, and the female form, all set against a backdrop that feels both ancient and modern. There is a specific way he uses color and drawing to connect the traditions of Byzantine iconography with the more fragmented logic of surrealism.
His creative output was never limited to the canvas. He was equally active in writing, producing poetry that shared the same surrealist impulses as his visual art. His collections, such as Do Not Distract the Driver and The Clavicembalos of Silence, used language to create much like his paintings used pigment. He also worked in theatre, designing costumes and creating mock-ups for plays like Caesar and Cleopatra. The way he approached a stage set or a book illustration was tied to the same interest in historical and folk Greek imagery.
Recognition and presence
The reception of his work was not always quiet. His first solo exhibition in 1939 drew sharp reactions from critics, yet he continued to build a steady presence in the Greek art scene. He was a founding member of the Armos art group in 1964 and later served as a professor of painting at the National Technical University of Athens. His reach extended beyond Greece, notably representing the country at the Venice Biennale in 1954 and participating in the Sao Paulo Biennale the following year.
Throughout his life, he received several honors for his contributions to both literature and the visual arts, including the First Poetry Award from the Greek Ministry of Education in 1958 and the Gold Cross of George I in 1966. His paintings remain in significant collections, such as the National Gallery of Greece and the Benaki Museum. He passed away in Athens in 1985, leaving behind a body of work that remains tied to the specific historical and cultural textures of the 20th century.
