This huge new 600m² mural by Pavlos Tsakonas, Manolis Anastasakos and the Kretsis crew inspired by Albrecht Dürer – 1508 (praying hands) is called “He, is praying for us,”
The idea was to change the prey of a man into a prey of a god.
This mural is a great comment on the social, economical and political crisis taking place in Greece and Europe these days!
“In our confused country with all the social-economical-political issues, we can only turn for help to god.
The disability of the politicians to solve problems,or to be fair, have create a <> system that destroys
our values and of course art.
This artwork is a sarcastic statement that god is the only solution left for us.”
