点评:During my recent visit to Naxos on August 2026 I was fortunate to learn about Yiannis Franjeskos and his “ Naxos Sculpture Exhibition “.
The unique technique of the Artist makes us speechless. One of the various books he has at the entrance of his Exhibits is named “ the Soul of the Stone “ and that’s the essence of his Theory and true Belief and Implementation !
The Artist finds the soul of the inanimate stone bringing the lifeless appearance to a living state of existence ! The new objects born out of the stone are realistic and alive with amazing details of realism. The range of his objects varies from every day items like a complete “ breakfast plate “ with eggs and ham to a sculptor’s 4000 year trip back to Early-Cycladic Civilization creations ! His devotion to detail is emphasized on small animals like a snail or a pigeon to a cat or a grasshopper where again life comes out of the inanimate stone with cinematic photorealism ! It is also remarkable that he uses no coloring or artificial dyes in his creations letting the stone speak itself through its own shades and hidden colorations that come out to life ! The Artist extracts the essence of the stone giving it a soul that was hidden deep inside but now is out and here to stay !
I recommend to everyone who visits Naxos to visit his unique sculpture and art gallery !

这位艺术家独特的创作技法令我们惊叹不已。在他的展览入口处陈列着多本书籍,其中一本名为《石头的灵魂》,这正是他的艺术理念、真实信仰与创作实践的精髓所在!
这位艺术家能够发掘无生命石块中的“灵魂”,让原本死气沉沉的石头焕发出生命的光彩!这些由石头雕刻而成的作品栩栩如生,展现了令人惊叹的逼真细节。其创作题材极为广泛:从带有鸡蛋和火腿的完整“早餐盘”等日常用品,到让观者仿佛穿越至4000年前基克拉迪文明时期的雕塑作品,应有尽有!他对细节的执着追求在各种小动物的刻画中体现得淋漓尽致——无论是蜗牛、鸽子,还是猫和蚱蜢,无生命的石头在这些作品中仿佛被赋予了生命,呈现出电影般逼真的质感!同样令人称奇的是,他在创作时从不使用任何颜料或人工染料,而是让石头凭借其本身的色调与隐秘的色彩来展现自我!这位艺术家提炼出了石头的精髓,赋予了它原本深埋于内却终于显现出来的灵魂——并且这一灵魂将永远留存于此!我强烈推荐每一位到访纳克索斯岛的游客去参观他那独一无二的雕塑与艺术画廊!
