❤️ Support Your Local Artist – A Publisher’s Note
What are we really paying for when we buy a piece of art?
A banana duct-taped to a wall once sold for €6.2 million. But would it be the same if it came from Euangelia in Petralona or Babis in Kato Patissia?
In his editorial note, Yanni Spanudis, publisher of KROMA, challenges the fame-driven art world and calls for a shift in perspective — toward the artist next door.
Investing in local artists is investing in our culture, our neighborhoods, and our shared identity. Let’s give attention to creators who live and work among us, who reflect our truths and challenge us through their work.
