Remarkable also, are the chromatic combinations that give a unique expression to each of your artistic compositions.”

“Warm congratulations to the exceptional artist Triantafyllos Iliadis, who, through his efforts and accomplishments, sends a message of optimism and creativity, while simultaneously giving the art of painting the stamp of his techniques—efficient work and expressive compositions that breathe of dynamism. The city of Athens proudly entertains his works.”

“I admired the person but was jealous of the artist…
I drew strength and courage from his own strength and courage. In the few moments that we met and through the few words that came out from the charismatic, or rather divine mouth, I conceived why so many known and unknown speak with such admiration for Triantafyllo Iliadis. To the man and great artist, who honoured Chios with his unparalled works of art, a big thank you and a sincere wish; may he always be well so that he may offer, to humanity, for many more years to come, the strength of his soul and the beauty of his art.”

“Warm congratulations to Triantafyllos Iliadis for his works.”
“Some people shockingly verify in their life, the “strength of a forced ailment”. They transfer a will for life and for creating, especially there where there aren’t many reasons or proclamations. Today, I learned that one of those is you and for that, Thank you very much.”

An exhibit that combines in the most obvious and creative manner, the ideas and worth of the arts and culture. An art exhibit which, apart from it artistic worth has a symbolic meaning; it shows that art and artistic creation is a stronger form of emotional expression which goes beyond all barriers. Congratulations to all of the creators.”
