Ο Κωνσταντίνος Μαλέας (Κωνσταντινούπολη, 1879 - Αθήνα, 4 Απριλίου 1928) ήταν ένας από τους πλέον σημαντικούς μεταϊμπρεσιονιστές Έλληνες ζωγράφους των αρχών του 20ού αιώνα.

Examples of a Brocken Spectre, a phenomenon where a person’s giant shadow appears magnified onto clouds miles away. The shadow from the sun behind the person creates a halo, giving it an angelic appearance. This mostly occurs on any misty mountainsides or cloud banks, and can even be seen from aeroplanes.

He thinks it's supposed to spell the same thing in English 🙃

When I tell you the "Greek life" gives you brainrot when it comes to... actually Greek things... 😅 Our letters are just pretty symbols to many of them

Greek Hatsune Miku, but Pontic-Greek edition!

🦅🟡Ο ΠΟΝΤΟΣ ΖΕΙ! 🟡🦅

Pattern/Texture used. More on Pontic-Greek people. Referenced parts of the costume from my own costume!

NOTES: - Dual-braids are more of an Armenian thing! As Pontic-Greek women traditionally wore their hair in a single braid or a bun! - The style of this costume is native to the region of Trabzon/Trapezounta. Styles vary from region to region, but some of these have been lost due to the Pontic-Greek genocide. - Pontic-Greek women's clothing is bright and colourful! You can learn more information on Pontic-Greek women's clothing here!

Drawing this, and participating in it, healed a part of me that so desperately needed to be healed. I'm proud to share an aspect of my people and culture of which is not very well known in today's society outside of Greece.

Thank you <3
