About the artwork

Paxos. A pearl in the Greek Ionian Sea. Loved by many visitors who take good care of and love nature. Island lovers who love originality and total tranquility. The brave little island once created by the Greek God Poseidon is not yet spoiled nor overrun by mass tourism merely because there is nothing to be found in mass entertainment.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon is the god of water, sea, horses and earthquakes. He is one of the Olympian gods and the brother of the supreme god Zeus. The god is known for his rigid nature and for the trident (trident) he always holds in his hand. He gets the trident from the cyclopes (one-eyed giants) and is therefore the symbol of Paxos. Incidentally, the Roman equivalent of the deity is Neptune.

During my first visit to Paxos in 1987, I ended up in the fishing village of Loggos. I have been going there regularly ever since. The island is small but offers a surprising number of fun and interesting sites. I was inspired there by the beautiful bays, olive groves, picturesque villages, abandoned mills and local cottages. The painting you see here concerns an olive grove laid out on hillside terraces above Marmari Beach, near the village of Loggos. Can you imagine the chirping of the cicadas and the smell of olive wood in the burning sun? I wish you great pleasure in purchasing a beautiful reproduction of this "Stone Path to Marmari Beach" from Loggos in Paxos.
