Je Ne Sais Quoi

Dimitri Likissas was born in 1969, in Belgium, where he was raised. He has also Greek roots. When he was 20 years old, 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 moment, he became a full time artist painter and his creations have started to be displayed in numerous private collections mostly in Europe and America. His heroes are the popart artist Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.                                   His dynamic works are characterized by colored dots arrangements, which transform imagery into abstract/geometric forms, giving exciting optical experience. He explores the unlimited potential of chromatic and tonal scale, visual planes and volume with a two-dimensional framework. While initially his style included a same single colored dot pattern with a superimposed subject, today his main element in his paintings coalesces within the pattern of labor-intensive, individually colored dots. According to the artist, the pattern of dots are a reference to living organisms, as atoms.
