Idiolidis Arias (1989) - Series "Summer"

This oil painting on canvas is fully integrated into the Summer series as a sensory celebration of suspended time, of light experienced in the body, and of shared joy. The scene depicts several figures immersed in the water, captured from an elevated perspective that dissolves the boundary between the viewer and the experience: one doesn't merely observe summer, one participates in it. The water, rendered with loose and vibrant brushstrokes, functions not only as a setting but also as an emotional language. Its greens, turquoises, and golden reflections envelop the figures, integrating them into a single vital pulse. The bodies are not rigidly defined; they emerge from and dissolve into the liquid surface, suggesting constant movement, laughter, play, and freedom. This lack of defined contours reinforces the idea of the ephemeral: summer as a moment lived intensely because it is known to be fleeting.
The facial expressions—open, spontaneous, radiant—become the true narrative center of the work. There is no pretense or solemnity: there is presence, enjoyment, and community. The water acts as a symbolic equalizer, a space where hierarchies disappear and only the shared experience of warmth, light, and the present moment remains. Conceptually, Summer is not presented here as a season of the year, but as a state of mind: an emotional territory associated with memory, inner youth, and the feeling of belonging, even if only for an instant, to something simple and true. The work invites us to remember—or to long for—those moments when time seemed to dissolve amidst laughter, sunshine, and water, and where life felt light, immediate, and profoundly human.
