John Vasiliou is an artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.

Artist's Statement:

I approach my art through intuition more than conscious effort. Making art is my way of disengaging from ordinary experience, giving life to the force of the psyche- that which Carl Jung described as “active imagination”. My emotional response leads to possibilities taking form through different media. The “themes” behind my images point to the interior realm and the natural world– the metaphysical and the phenomenal. Much of my work suggests to me an atmosphere in transition composed of distinct elements— my role as an artist is to integrate those elements into a kind of “ordered chaos” where abstraction and objectivity meet. My intent is to create images that are original and vibrant– that have the quality to engage the viewer, prompting a sense of wonder and inviting reflection.
