About the Work
Αλληλούια is a provocative and stylistically daring novel by novelist and playwright Giorgos Maniotis, whose writing blends realism with poetic symbolism. Maniotis’ literary voice is marked by theatrical sensitivity and sharply drawn characters, themes that harmonize with Fassianos’ visual universe.
About Alekos Fassianos (1935–2022)
One of the most internationally recognised Greek painters of the 20th and 21st century, Fassianos developed a distinctive pictorial language rooted in ancient Greek myth, folk culture, and everyday life.
