Greek artist Nikos Floros, known for his exquisite artworks using recycled alumnium cans, is presenting a series of works in Russia ti cinnenirate 400 years since the death of El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos, 1549-1614). His work is presented at the St. Isaac’s Cathedral Museum.

Mr. Floros has interpreted the geometric style and colors of two works by Theotokopoulos by embedding them in his unique style. Specifically, he created two incomparably beautiful mosaics of monumental proportions made out of more than 10,000 aluminum pieces that carry the mysterious quality that El Greco works are known for.

The two works in question are “The Disrobing of Christ” and “The Resurrection of Christ”.
