ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The painting 'Faraway friend' talks about the friendships that we make with people that live far from us. We meet, become friends, and usually we soon separate and become faraway friends. The painting conveys silence and a melancholy of the distance. It was made in 2000 when distance and silence existed and were accepted in relations between people. It is in this sense an image of the beginning of the new century and millennium that was would also bring the end of distance and silence.

"In her paintings we see how a hyper sensitive person perceives the world" S. Kapnissi is a trained painter working on revealing the free true space that we all hide within and that gives purpose in life; just like the sunshine does and the warmth of a real home. "My paintings depict the intensity of life; bright colors or black and white, abstract or figurative, my images point at Life and at our humanity that we evoke through beauty." S. Kapnissi (Athens, 1966) studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Aristotle University in Greece and at the Free Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague, the Netherlands; for a period as a NUFFIC grantee. She is founding member of the Gaidaro group which from 1999-2008 presented projects advocating for wide participation in the art practice and presentation. Painting is her main activity which often expands to engraving, textile, video and text. Website:
