About The Artwork

4 women on a rocky shore, gazing at the turbulent sea. The painting is part of the section "A world beyond" which depicts mythical creatures and specifically of the collection "Nereids". The Nereids are an integral part of ancient Greek mythology. These divine creatures, followers of the sea god Poseidon, had powers over the liquid element and the space it occupied. They are described as lovely divinities, and were believed to be propitious to all sailors. The Italian critic Marta Lock, writes about this artwork: "The Greek artist Ageliki Alexandridou mixes the two styles, Symbolism and Realism, to give life to her own personal and intimate language that on the one hand is dressed in mystical atmospheres or linked to the traditions and myths of her country, while on the other hand she abandons the more social side of Realism, moving towards a romantic softness that constitutes her point of observation of her surroundings... ....The artist plays with light and shadows, blurring the colour to instil that muffled atmosphere with which she envelops the figures and the scenarios in which she places them, as if their emotions, their feeling, were accompanied by the surrounding environment, the sky, the waters, the backgrounds that surround them. .... When she tells myths, on the other hand, Ageliki Alexandridou permeates her canvases with mystery, with a special magic that induces the observer to imagine the power of the gods, their being above humans while somehow wanting to be part of their lives....:"

“I love painting because it's a silent, but universal art. It speaks though all the languages of the world at the same time. It can be translated into quality time, development, expression, serenity. A whole world where everything is possible... ... More than anything, I love portraying the beauty of human beings. To capture the expression, the look. My goal when I paint is to convey the magic I see to the observer. I keep looking, searching, experimenting, since I believe that art, as much as every kind of knowledge, is an internal and eternal processing... " Ageliki is a realist artist from Greece. She grew up at Thessaloniki and after graduation, she studied Fashion Design participating as a designer at Dimitreli's Organization's fashion show at the NTNG (June 1991). As a military spouse, she lived for 2 decades in various parts of Greece. Mother of two children, she began her academical studies in 2002 at the age of 32. She graduated from the SECEd AUTH and subsequently got accepted into the Department of Sociology at the University of Aegean. She started painting in 2011. In August 2017, she settled permanently at a small town at western Greece, Preveza, where she maintains her workshop to this day. Today her artworks can be found in private collections at Melbourne, N. York, Middle East, Europe and in public buildings at Greece.
