Alley 2 Painting

I'm a visual artist from Athens, Greece, I live and work in London, U.K. I studied Fine Arts and focused on painting and set design. My website is: www.eirinibogdanou.com I practice my art in my studio (sometimes in London and sometimes in Athens) where all my ideas and experimentation become unique, original fine art pieces, Some are small, some are very large, some are colourful some are dark, but all of them are a part of who I am. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I hope you will enjoy seeing my artwork here. I feel particularly attached to books, theater and cinema, and I love to create sceneries that look both real and unreal. My favorite materials are paper and wood, especially when used in a way to create layers of depth. I'm a deeply positive and optimistic person, but sometimes I prefer to use strong contradictions in order to express that. Nature is always inspiring me and I try to follow some of its wisest patterns and harmonies. My themes have a common core: the human psyche. That is what I often call a microcosm, a small universe that constitutes our entity and acts and interacts with its environment. Life amazes me as a fact on its own, even though there are many things I cannot explain. What an amazing field of inspiration and creativity this is. I am happy to share my creativity with you.
