THE LANDSCAPES OF STAVROS KOTSIREAS — THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON TO THE LOST PARADISE (excerpt)

“Stavros Kotsireas passionately cultivates a form of landscape painting with romantic origins.
‘The landscape is a state of mind’: this definition of Romantic landscape art perfectly fits his images.
Images charged with emotion, images that emerge from memory and nostalgia.
Quivering images, stirred by the breeze of a poetic imagination in full awakening.”
