BLACK AND WHITE ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

Caryatis — Women in Cornfield (Nea Vyssa, Thrace, Greece)

Seven women stand shoulder-to-shoulder in a Thracian cornfield, wearing the traditional φορεσιά (attire) of Nea Vyssa. Their formation is deliberate, their gaze unwavering. Shot in natural light in George Tatakis’ signature high-contrast black-and-white, the photograph belongs to Caryatis, an ongoing portrait project that honours living Greek tradition through directed, formal compositions.

This piece brings calm strength into a room. The monochrome palette reduces visual noise, while the frontal geometry creates order and focus. Viewers are drawn to ask who they are; what story is this?—turning the print into a quiet conversation starter about identity, memory, and cultural continuity.

Why it belongs in your space

Grounding & meaning: Connects the room to real people and place; signals cultural depth.
Calm authority: Symmetry and tonal discipline create a composed, professional atmosphere.
Timelessness: Black & white + archival materials = a work that ages with dignity.
Identity & pride: Resonant for Greek and diaspora homes, cultural venues, and refined hospitality.

Ideal for interior designers seeking statement B&W works; collectors of fine-art/documentary portraiture; boutique hotels, restaurants, embassies, museums, and thoughtful workspaces.
