"He explores the magnetic forces and the energy of the magnetic fields, which become one of the foundations of the works in his artistic research. He experiments with electricity, sound and light, like some other artists of the Neo-Realist generation of the 1960s in Paris. Thus, through his art he renders visible all these invisible elements. Influenced by everything that has been mentioned, but also by the cosmic powers and communication with the beyond, he creates Telesculptures and Telepeintures (Telepaintings), Telelumieres (Telelights), Cadrans, and Musicals. During that time he travels quite often to all the major artistic and metropolitan centers of the world. A typical example is his first trip to the US in 1961, where he meets his future friend, Marcel Duchamp. [...] Overall, throughout his career, Takis continues to explore the boundaries and intersections of artistic and scientific perception, as well as of music, sounds and especially moving images." - Takis Foundation, official website
