Edouard Sacaillan was born in Thessaloniki in 1957 and began to paint very young despite the adversity. His work was exhibited several times in Athens and he received the 18th Alexandria Art Bienniale prize.
The paintings of this Greek artist of Armenian origin could be classified within the framework of a demonstrative expressionism. The work of Edouard Sacaillan is charged with cries and silences, colors and darkness, images and shocks and the titles of the Artworks, often inscribed in the canvas, another Ariadne’s thread, at the end unleash the knots of a machinery that is in fact an analytical, moral and cruel enigma, seeking in the dream the truth that is hidden from it.
