Cohesiveness, sound and silence, movement
and stillness are also a part of my aesthetics.
Ranging from performance art to
installation in space, your approach
coherently encapsulates several techniques
and viewpoints, revealing an incessant
search of an organic symbiosis between a
variety of viewpoints. The results convey
together a consistent sense of harmony.
Before starting to elaborate about your
production, we would suggest to our readers
to visit http://thodoristrampas.com in order
to get a synoptic view of your multifaceted
artistic production: while walking our
readers through your process, we would like
to ask you if you have you ever happened to
realize that a symbiosis between different

convey the ideas you explore.

According to the way I work, convergence is
the way in which I face art. Sculpture,

strength and the value to support the theme
on which I choose to work and that they
create a full installation. In addition, my
purpose is to create an installation using
cheap materials and elements of nature,
which can invoke an emotive atmosphere to
the audience even after performance has
ended. The place given to me each time,
along with the current circumstances and its
history, allows the work to be incorporated
without leaving its central core.

have selected Scorched Earth, an extremely
interesting project that our readers have
already started to get to know in the
introductory pages of this article. We have

appreciated the way the combination
between the atemporal feature of ash and
the ephemeral nature of human body
accomplishes you to create a concrete

time and memory. While walking our
