Hellenic (Greek) artist
Magdalene Pougoura
Digital Painting on processed photograph
I was born in Xanthi, Greece
but since 1978 I live and work
in Thessaloniki. I have studied
Marketing, Art & Design and
Photography in Thessaloniki. I
had a 25 years career as a Bank
Executive while at the same time
continued to pursue my special
interests in photography, painting
and crafting of jewelry.
I participated in a lot of group
art shows mainly organized by
the Association of Employees of the National Bank of
Greece with several distinctions in both painting and
photograph.
I am inspired by nature and through photograph
and photo manipulation I process my artworks in order
to convey a spur of the moment, a feeling, a mental
state. My art utilizes symbolic representations, kept
impressions and ethereal images. An altered state of
reality is presented as I combine my inner psyche with
imagery from the world around me. My goal is to offer a
different perspective for ordinary images as a tribute to
the wonder of cosmos and humanity.
