Kanellopoulos takes lyricism to its most extreme form. His characters are dominated by an absolute, mysterious and romantic passion that so overcomes them that they seem to stand still and act as if hypnotized, simply following the course of their fate. A woman loves her officer husband but her desire for their mutual friend is irresistible. She will follow him, deserter though he is, into the unknown.
Love-Death: the axis is straight; it is a “royal”path that unites them. A ritual and a hymn to the sadness and splendour of feelings.
I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.

If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.
