JOHN HARTMAN SIKINOS
“Last spring I travelled to the island of Sikinos, one of the most southerly islands in the Cyclades, as close to Crete as to mainland Greece. I often think that time slows down on islands such as Sikinos, but maybe what time does is that it expands, allowing anyone paying attention to absorb into their consciousness what their senses are sending them. That is a perfect place to paint.
I was totally captivated by this island. Mountains rising out of the sea. Neighbouring islands, Ios, Folegandros, Naxos, coming in and out of view as the light changed throughout the day. Small white chapels perched on mountaintops. The mountain shapes coming into defnition as the sun came up and travelled its daily course. The sounds of domestic life in the densely packed houses in Kastro drifting up the hillside in Chorio. The aroma of the ever-present wild thyme.”
