The characteristic artistic style of Alekos Fassianos is formed in the early 60’s. The three main themes during its course are man, nature and the environment. His study of Greek culture, his involvement with graphic arts and engraving influenced his painting. In his first compositions, the figure of the officer dominates with the inflatable, red cheeks and the fancy ribbons on the uniform. As well as the cartoonishly evocative style. Gradually the forms move and acquire their own life. They become pairs that fill the space as soon as they touch each other. However, they remain united in design in one mass.
