Andreas Katsimardos begins through a ritual procedure to reveal the ‘objects΄ he depicts, as points of reference of the presence of man in life, of his reminiscence (that is imprinted in his passage in life), of the relations he develops as unfulfilled expectations in his daily routine, but also as skipped accounts of the potentialities of the ‘feasible’ or of the possibilities that imagination may raise. The herasmic terseness, with which he portrays the objects as an alter ego of  the self, subject the viewer to a reflective mood around the notions of life itself, of its correlations and transcendences in space and time. The everyday objects of people’s associations are transformed into credentials of an artistic deposition, defined rather by its conundrums than all the self-evident that its cognate objects declare.
