About Eleni Pappa Tsantilis

I am a self-taught visual artist born in Greece. The last 30 years I have lived between Greece, France and Switzerland. My inspiration comes from people I meet, places I see, information I hear at home or when travelling I work with several mediums, painting, ceramics, sculptures since the early 90’s. ART FOR ME, IS PASSION, FREE SPIRIT, ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT LIFE. To apply the colours I use brushes, knives, handmade squeegees, sponges or her hands. My paintings have several layers. After applying the paint, I drag and scrape up layers of wet or dry paint leaving marks. That gives a nice “used” effect and creates the story of the work. Blue, white and black are recurrent in my work. Material, colour and composition, a perpetual challenge to create something new. My works are in private collections all over the world. I have exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions.
