REALITY exist together. Stamati's lush land-
scapes and portraits are inspired by the journeys
his artistic vision with its unique impressions. With bold
brush strokes, Stamati exhibits a vivid, painterly style that
with emotional depth
and a sense of imme-
diacy. Influenced by
dreams and fantasy,
Stamati gives voice to
the chimerical visions
that stand at the edge
of reality. The can-
vases explode with
movement; Stamati
reflects a dynamic
world where images
like, where the landscape becomes, as the artist states, "a
world of curves, masks, extraordinary animals." Stamati
paints the exotic in all its untamed beauty and the ordi-
nary with whimsical freshness. The artist's travels have
become the ultimate muse; each place he visits becomes
re-invented through his brush. Stamati's figures and
imagination, allowing the viewer to see unexpected
color and rich forms. As an artist, Stamati shows
himself to be a passionate observer of life's spec-
tacular vivacity; through Stamati's eyes, the viewer
can partake of the artist's joyful impressions of the
world around us. - Alison Rogers
