Nicoletta Themistocleous

Nicoletta Themistocleous creates paintings and mixed media artworks. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, she investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.
​
Her paintings directly respond to the surrounding environment and use everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. These are often framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By applying abstraction, she tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered manner and likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.

Her works establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. With a conceptual approach, she creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles.
