THE WORK OF MOUSTAKAS: Contemporary, Dynamic, Robust, Revealing

'...The works of Moustakas contain, in a relentless way, ideas and ancient myth, the present and the future, integral and imperishable, and this is why they shall remain contemporary and classic for life. The sculpture of Moustakas facilitates the teaching of ideas, while it exists as contemporary, symbolic and Hellenic, since he reaches this end through the imperishable norms deriving from the classic art embodied in the Parthenon sculptures and the Hellenic sculpture of the descendants. Moustakas lives in the world of Ancient Greek classicism and chthonic deities. Hephaestus serves as his assistant. Moustakas has never known Rome...' (abstract)
