Santorini Modern Art & Photography Gallery | Oia Galanopoulos Art Gallery
Nestled along the idyllic pedestrian street of Oia, Santorini, Oia Galanopoulos Art Gallery has been a cornerstone of the island’s art scene since 1986. Founded by a local artist family deeply rooted in Santorini’s creative community, the gallery was among the first art spaces on the island to showcase the intersection of modern art and fine photography.
With over 250 original artworks, the gallery celebrates the beauty and diversity of Santorini — its blue-and-white architecture, mesmerizing Aegean light, and timeless culture. The collection features paintings, limited-edition fine art prints, and photographic works created by local and international artists inspired by the island’s natural magic.
Over the years, these works have gained worldwide recognition, exhibited in museums, foundations, banks, and private collections across the globe. Today, the gallery extends its presence online, offering limited-edition fine art prints for collectors who wish to bring a piece of Santorini’s soul into their homes.

The Poetry of Curves | 15 Years of Photographing the Cycladic Islands
For over 15 years, I have been photographing the Cycladic islands of Greece, drawn to their mysterious staircases, forgotten doorways, and silent architectural forms. These spaces — often weathered, timeless, and seemingly abandoned — speak in their own quiet language. Each frame captures not only the passage of time but also the soul of the Aegean.
Through years of observation, I have come to realize the profound truth within Cycladic architecture. The ancient builders, centuries ago, intuitively understood something essential about the world — that life itself is not made of straight lines, but curves. Without formal knowledge of modern design or science, they sculpted elliptical forms that combined strength and movement, simplicity and emotion.
These gentle curves are more than aesthetic; they represent the psychological, spiritual, and scientific essence of the universe. In my photography, I aim to honor this harmony — capturing the Cycladic islands as a dialogue between light, architecture, and the human spirit.
Each photograph is a journey through space and silence, where art, geometry, and emotion converge in the eternal blue of the Aegean..
About Doors
The Mystery of Doors | A Journey Through Greek Door Photography and Symbolism
I have always been fascinated by doors — but why? Perhaps it’s because every closed door holds a story untold, a world unseen. The mystery behind the door sparks my imagination, inviting questions about what lies beyond and what remains hidden. In my photography, doors are not merely architectural forms; they are symbols of transition, memory, and possibility.
Like everything in nature, doors hold contradictory meanings. They protect and invite, conceal and reveal. This duality reminds me of Janus, the Roman god of gates and passages, who looked in two directions at once — past and future, seen and unseen, beginning and end.
Doors are connections between spaces, times, and states of being. In life — as in the Cycladic architecture of Greece — we cross many thresholds, both physical and emotional. Some lead us simply to the next room; others open to entirely new worlds. The truth behind a closed door exists only in our imagination, until the moment we find the courage to open it… and beyond it, there is always another door waiting.…
Can we see the sound?
Cymatics: The Art of Seeing Sound | Experimental Water Photography
In my studio in Oia, Santorini, I explore a world where science and art meet — a place where sound becomes visible through the language of vibration and light. These works belong to my Cymatics photography series, an ongoing experiment that captures water’s reaction to sound frequencies using a handmade cymatics device.
Cymatics, derived from the ancient Greek word Kyma (meaning “wave”), reveals the hidden geometry of sound — patterns formed by vibration that create mesmerizing shapes and forms. The term was introduced in the 1960s by Swiss scientist Hans Jenny, who described it as the study of wave phenomena and the vibratory nature of matter.
Through this process, I translate sound — that invisible energy that shapes everything around us — into a visual form. Ripples of water respond to tones and frequencies, producing intricate mandala-like patterns that appear almost alive. Each image is a frozen moment of resonance, where art, physics, and emotion merge into one.
To see sound is to glimpse another dimension of reality — one that has always surrounded us, but remained hidden until now.
The Swing of the Pendulum
The pattern which connects.
Epigenesis: The Dance of Motion and Light | Experimental Long-Exposure Photography
Epigenesis is an ongoing experimental photography series that explores the poetic intersection between science, movement, and creation. Each photograph captures the elegant motion of a Foucault pendulum, transforming invisible physics into visible art.
In my studio in Oia, Santorini, a single beam of light is attached to the base of a large pendulum suspended above a 30-square-meter space. As it swings, the light draws intricate paths through the darkness — luminous traces of rhythm, chaos, and transformation. The camera’s open shutter records every movement, revealing a hypnotic choreography of curves and spirals that would otherwise remain unseen.
The pendulum begins in apparent randomness, yet over time, patterns emerge — evolving, shifting, and ultimately finding balance. It mirrors the philosophy behind the word Epigenesis: while the essence of life may be predictable repetition, true evolution arises from exploration and change.
Each long-exposure image becomes a meditation on energy, time, and equilibrium, a collaboration between gravity and imagination — a moment where art and science converge in motion.
