-Between wood and stone:

…Despite his art on wood, on stone Panayoti is near to the abstract art, without losing his humans' feelings that characterize all his work. A touch of symbolism, surrealism, and a big fantasy seems to be in the nature of the artist. The "skirt" is a good example and hides a new dimension, which goes beyond the subject to reach an atmosphere of meditation.

-The woman:

The woman is almost everywhere in his work. 
The aim of sculpting the body is to reach the beauty as a value.
The work of Panayoti has an expressive force and a unique beauty.
He is a professional in all the materials; he knows how to deal with them and how to respect them. 
Finally, he is giving them the dimension of time: the mythological time, the present and the future.
His work is a marriage between reality and symbolism.

Panayoti find a part of his inspiration in the antique Greek art (mythology).
A big lover of Beauty, he sculpts women bodies. 
He said: "When a sculptor is able to finish a classic work, a nude, he is a professional."
