The characteristic artistic style of Alekos Fassianos is formed in the early 60’s. The three main themes during its course are man, nature and the environment.

His study of Greek culture, his involvement with graphic arts and engraving influenced his painting. In his first compositions, the figure of the officer dominates with the inflatable, red cheeks and the fancy ribbons on the uniform. As well as the cartoonishly evocative style. Gradually the forms move and acquire their own life. They become pairs that fill the space as soon as they touch each other. However, they remain united in design in one mass.

• Engraving is an art form in which the creator carves a design on a surface. This surface is then covered with ink and pressed onto paper. This way, the same design can be reprinted multiple times.
• Today, the term engraving usually refers to the engraving of designs and symbols on a surface. This surface will then serve as a plate for making paper copies. The work (copy on paper or other medium) created in this way is called engraving .

• In linoleum engraving, the artist first digs the surface of the linen by hand and removes the pieces that will not be printed. One would say that it works with the opposite reasoning, as what it digs will not be printed, while what is left will be the final design. This process takes a lot of work and a lot of testing until it reaches the final result, which is called “matrix”. The final plate, that is, that has been engraved and is to be used in multiple prints.

• The artist then passes the ink onto the die with the help of a special roller and finally, he presses on the inked linoleum paper or fabric by hand or with the use of a special press.
