g r e ek artist DIMITRA PAPAGEORGIOU Oil paintings ABOUT THE ARTIST: I am a self-taught artist living in Thessaloniki, Greece. My true passion has always been painting and creating. Mostly, I paint original oil and acrylic paintings on stretched canvas and on old wood pieces or driftwood. I work with mixed technique using palette knives and brushes. Our visible world, the natural landscape, the endless blue of the sea, the summer breeze, the blinding reflections, the waves crashing on the sea shore. The ruby-red freshly blooming rose, the silver-green leaves of the olive trees shining in the moonlight. From all these miracles occurring around us daily, I get energy and inspiration. Vision captures the image, landscape, human, objects, shadow, light, colors. With my imagination I can see my object more freely and looking for a different form that reflects and expresses my own perception. I create a new image influenced from my personal experience, my character and the mood of the moment. Through my artworks, I seek to express my inner need to transform a personal experience and thereby to set me free from it. Ally with my unbridled imagination, juggling between reality and dream, completely engrossed in my paintings. In any project, big or small, important or insignificant I give all my energy.
