This is a landmark exhibition, which celebrates human relationships, an encounter with art, through the works by two artists, so different but with so many common values ​​and ideals.

The collection of the “Monastery of Karolos” Museum, among other masterpieces, also includes works by the Greek visual artist Alekos Fasianos, a small part of the huge collection, slowly and steadily built by the visual artist and celebrity hairdresser, Charles (Karolos) Kampelopoulos.

This exhibition aims to awaken the mind with the visual dialogues between the works of these two artists, while at the same time leaving it to the absolute discretion of each viewer to imagine, to tell a fairy tale or to wonder about any scenario of coexistence between two very unique and creative visual minds: the widely known, acclaimed Alekos Fasianos and the lesser known but undoubtedly charismatic, talented Karolos Kampelopoulos.
