The Art Historian Katia Kilesopoulou wrote:
"The artist's intentions become clearer, when the deluge of data and morph plastic messages from his feverish mental and ideological background has been limited. We have for example several of recent works with only a few colors, starring the child and protesting against any kind of mistreatment. Its rosy and spectral presence in a nightmarish environment of reminders and symbolism, accentuates the bleak atmosphere of an agonizing visual search that interested to bring into sight vital issues - impasses of modern life."
