Aristotle Kristatos in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981)

Aristotle Kristatos is a realistic villain in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. No big out-of-this world lair, no spectacular world domination plan. He is after a lost British encryption machine which he has made plans to sell to the Russians. His final hideout was a monastery built on top of a rock column. Inside the monastery there are colourful wall paintings of religious characters.

Kristatos is also the patron of a young gymnastic skater called Bibi Dahl. The monastery is her exercise and training place. That is why there is a huge mirror leaning against a wall. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
