Dimitris Kretsis exhibits in Abu Dhabi

"The Seas Within Me" is an art exhibit at the Volvo Ocean Race Destination Village on the Corniche breakwater in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. 

The nautical and sailing themed works of the international artist Dimitris Kretsis are exhibited there, in line with the world-wide races theme. 

A distinguished artist acclaimed both within his home country (Greece) as well as on an international level, Dimitris possesses impressive abilities in iconography, realistic rendering of vignettes, and portraitures. 

Etihad Modern Art Gallery will feature the artist's original nautical-themed compositions that he meticulously selected, works that attempt to portray the feeling of the sea as he himself experiences it and as his memories recall and reshape it. 
 
Dimitris Kretsis hopes that the selection of artworks evoke nostalgia that will have an impact on the audience and increase interest in art as well as marine life.
