Theme: Santorini Island

Did you know that the whole complex of Santorini islands is still an active volcano and probably the only volcano in the world whose crater is in the sea? The islands that form Santorini came into existence as a result of intensive volcanic activity,welve huge eruptions occurred, one every 20,000 years approximately, and each violent eruption caused the collapse of the volcano's central part creating a large crater (caldera). The volcano, however, managed to recreate itself over and over again.The last big eruption occurred 3,600 years ago (during the Minoan Age), when igneous material (mainly ash, pumice and lava stones) covered the three islands (Thíra, Thirassiá and Asproníssi). The eruption destroyed the thriving local prehistoric civilization, evidence of which was found during the excavations of a settlement at Akrotíri. The solid material and gases emerging from the volcano's interior created a huge “vacuum” underneath, causing the collapse of the central part and the creation of an enormous “pot” –today's Caldera– with a size of 8x4 km and a depth of up to 400m below sea level.Santorini is considered to be the most sought after place for a romantic getaway in Greece, since there are not many places in the world where you can enjoy exquisitely clear waters while perched on the rim of a massive active volcano in the middle of the sea! The island has a growing reputation as a “wedding destination” for couples not only from Greece but from all over the world. A trip to Santorini with the other half is a dream for anyone who has seen at least one photo of the island's famous Caldera and exchanging kisses beneath Santorini's famous sunset is the ultimate romantic experience!
The water color is a difficult technique and exacts time and dedication from its practitioners. Due to the long years he has spent studying his craft, Papadoperakis has gained a valuable familiarity with his materials, resulting in a unique depiction of his themes on the paper.
We are more than pleased to represent George Papadoperakis's work in “Pandora Art Gallery”.

Papadoperakis was born in Knossos (Crete), in 1940.
With an inherent tendency to the visual arts, Papadoperakis showed a special interest in painting and particularly in watercolor painting (aquarelle).
His aquarelles usually depict the luminous landscape hotsell of the Greek islands, the Greek countryside and parts of Athens that are closely related to the ancient history of the city.
The discipline and the practice acquired, coupled with an unwavering love for the medium, have led Papadoperakis to study the watercolor technique in detail and create faithful representations of the Greek landscape and tradition. Through his art, he contributes, also, to the furtherance of Greek culture abroad.
