In the early 1950's, Omiros started with what he called "my free space", an artistic space devoid of any limitations, rules, constraints or limiting conventions and artistic taboos. Because of this emphasis on freedom, a sort of void prevailed and Omiros would certainly be the first minimalist painter if he had just stopped there. However, Omiros continued to evolve. It is not just a free space, but it is 'my' free space, a very individual and personal quest to redefine his own individuality.

This evolution was foreseen when he advised Yves Klein that he needed to add something, anything, on his monochrome bleu paintings, even if it were one of his own hair, in order for such a work to be personal, and allow the artist to further evolve. And sure enough, Omiros evolved to this very day, through a constant quest of free exploration.

Omiros is an abstract painter consistent throughout his career and his free exploration of space, forms, movements, energies, lighting and colors; and all the facets and intricacies of the mastery of this exploration is for all to see in his six decades of work. Omiros knows that creation results form the interplay of powerful and often opposing and random forces, that life is in movements, cycles, changes and most importantly, in the way by which incompatible things struggle to adapt toward an end result. So be it in every single one of his paintings. A famous art critic once said many of Omiros's paintings reminded him of cock fights.

When asked the question "What is Art", after some thoughtful reflection, Omiros answered "I don't know... but I am working on it".

This is the guide that Omiros continues to use to this day at 83 years of age and after more than sixty years as a painter, in front of every blank canvas and in the beginning of every day of his life, full with humility and open to what will blossom out of his heart into the brush, paint and canvas that day. This honesty and humility connects with the observer at a deep level where they also experience this freedom when looking at his paintings.

If free exploration is the driving force behind his work, Omiros could not stop at just abstract work. Why would he? Why should he? An explorer always pushes into new uncharted territories. Omiros would explore other things. He freely explored spirituality by renewing the entire Byzantine iconography with both the old and new testament into a modern interpretation. He was acclaimed internationally at his exhibition of his work at the Byzantine Museum of Athens in 2008. He freely explored mythology and brought back a true renaissance of Greek mythology into modern art. He explored the wealth of movements in putting on canvas all the sports and athletic disciplines. He explored the nuances of colors of the seasons in his Four Seasons collection. He explored fashion and its fantastic appeal in colors, textures, movements. He worked in association with children in his 'gamineries' collection taping into both their innocent vision as well as that of his own inner child brought out in the process.
