He also organises a cultural program in the summer months, together with many other artists.

"I travel a lot" announces Balias.
These trips - the artists work - don't lead him to far countries but to a spiritual world in which he encounters colours, images, dreams and thoughts beyond time and space.

Some thoughts of the artist; these quotations are extracted from different writings of Balias.
 
 

  An artist uses the elements of nature to create his work. On the contrary, science decomposes the work to discover the elements.

  Everything has a measurement and everything is known by his opposite. Halfway is the solution of all problems. The most significant opposite is life in front of death. Halfway appears the dream and thid dream is art.
When art (culture) is badly done, this dream becomes nightmare.

  We can never possess nature, culture we can.

  Mixture and synthesis are two different things. The first assembles homogeneous molecules and becomes something entire. On the contrary synthesis may be a simple mechanical juxtaposition which becomes sum or row.

  To find a definition of art, nothing convinced me more than the logic of cosmos and his opposite.

The job of the artist doesn't consist in making a copy of nature or in colouring its shape. His job is to create nature as he feels.

  "Other", description of what is beyond sense.This will be copied to be shown, so the invisible becomes vissible, thus nature.
