walk away, I will leave it and I will never look back,
sometimes for months, in order to avoid emotional
attachment”.
His first exhibition was realized in Valencia, Spain a
project, which due to its success, led to a series of
exhibitions in some of the top art museums in the world
He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree by the
University of Athens for his outstanding contribution to
the general education of Greeks and for the promotion of
Hellenism internationally. Moreover, on the 22nd of
May, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree in
the Department of Physics by the University of Patras
and he became an Honorary Citizen of the city of Patras.
Finally, in 1992 he received two of the highest honors of
the French Republic: the title of the “Knight of the Order
of Arts and Letters” and the title of the “Knight of the
Legion of Honor” for his contribution in the European
cultural heritage, and for supporting the preservation of
cultural differences. How is it possible, after receiving so
many distinctions, to protect yourself from arrogance?
The answer of the artist is laconic: “By marching through
the multidimensional path of music” ….
For this great artist, music is holy, primeval power of the
Universe. Its purpose is to elevate, to inspire, to refine
and to “cure” the human. This is also the mission of
Vangelis and his desire: to awaken this place called
memory in all of us.
“… and every time I remember, I discover and reveal
something new…”
