As the artist himself notes, the experience was not simply one of fear, but also a reminder: of the immense power that lies beneath our feet, and of how small we are in the face of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the paintings presented in this exhibition, Leousis seeks to capture the fleeting nature of human existence against the timelessness of nature \u2014 how, with a single breath, the volcano can bring us face to face with who we truly are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pantelis Leousis was born, raised, and educated in Piraeus. He studied Mathematics at the University of Athens and, for twenty years, founded and ran his own private secondary education tutoring school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His love of nature and the sea first brought him to Santorini and later to Thirassia, where he has lived and created for the past twenty years, while also working as a teacher at Thirassia Secondary School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practical Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Admission:<\/strong>\u00a0Free<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opening:<\/strong>\u00a0Friday, September 25, 2026, at 6:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exhibition dates:<\/strong>\u00a0September 25 \u2013 October 2, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Venue:<\/strong>\u00a0Mikra Thira Winery, Potamos, Thirassia \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/visits\/\">information on how to reach the winery<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An artistic encounter with color, nature, and the energy of the volcano.","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1769"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1772,"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1769\/revisions\/1772"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mikrathira.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
