Greek Bouzouki Music Player by Delia Parvu

Stretched impasto oil painting, using knives 20x20x3/4

The subject: Music is an extremely important part of the Greek life since ancient times. Every time I visit I am sourounded by music and I am impressed by everyone's desire to listen and dance to the beat. The Bouzouki sounds are a distinct part of Greek music as they take over the soul and make you feel as if you are part of the sound itself. The Buozouki is always present at all Greek festivals and those who play the instrument play it with incredible passion.

The painting: This painting shows a man playing the Bouzouki at a Greek festival near the town of Kiato. He looks as if he feels the music he plays. The oil colors were laid on the canvas entirely with painting knives. The main colors in this painting are red, black and beige.

My dinner last night, Vol. 3: the Greek Stradivarius

Resembling an oversized mandolin, the bouzouki is the mainstay of modern Greek music. The bouzouki is a stringed instrument which belongs to the family of the long-necked lutes. Instruments of a similar shape can be found in Pre-Hellenic civilizations (Egypt, Assyria, China, India). In ancient Greece, the same instrument was known under the name "pandouris", and from Byzantium onwards, it became known as the "tambouras".

According to my waiter, the bouzouki that this man is playing was handmade in Greece and is valued at between $2,000 and $3,000.
