KNOW THYSELF Γ (Gamma): KNOW THYSELF! Drawing

"We are all one Creator, manifesting in many human forms. A person who realizes their divine nature becomes capable of creating a beautiful world." Elisaveta Sivas is a conceptual artist whose work is deeply informed by spiritual enlightenment and the desire to heal the traumas of the Anthropocene. With her minimalist yet powerful sculptural forms and symbolic paintings, Elisaveta invites humanity into an initiation process toward awareness, unity, and harmony. Her art calls for a conscious choice of a better future—one grounded in love, sustainability, inclusivity, and equity. Her artistic journey is defined by two major collections: SEARCH and TRUTH (CREATOR). SEARCH Collection (pre-2022): This collection reflects the search for meaning and understanding of the human condition. Elisaveta’s works from this period often explore philosophical themes of existence, truth, and love through intricate allegorical sculptures and impressionistic paintings. These works, though complex, illustrate her profound desire to uncover the essence of reality and humanity's place within it. The SEARCH collection is marked by deep introspection and intellectual inquiry, showcasing the artist's evolving understanding of the world before her spiritual awakening. TRUTH Collection (post-2022): Following a spiritual enlightenment in 2022, Elisaveta entered a period of newfound clarity. The TRUTH collection represents her vision of unity, where humanity is seen as one spirit. This period is characterized by minimalist heads symbolizing the divine connection and the Creator within us all. Inspired by the geometric purity of Cycladic figures, the abstract vision of Brancusi and Modigliani, and the lyrical naivety of Chagall, Elisaveta's works in this collection transcend the physical, focusing on the spiritual and divine nature of existence. This body of work offers viewers a unique perspective—an invitation to see the world through the eyes of the Creator. Elisaveta’s multidisciplinary background, which includes a degree in Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies and a PhD in Theoretical Linguistics, along with her training in fashion design, ceramics, and painting, enriches her art with layers of meaning, merging spirituality, sociology, and aesthetics into each creation.
