About The Artwork

The painting is one of my paintings for my solo show at King Street Gallery, Carmarthen, Wales this year. THe title of the show is Ekphrasis: Between Image and Word, and is a collaboration with writer Stella Pierides. Each painting has a haiku written in response to. I have used oil, acrylic and raw materials collected from my many walks to create this painting, and the inspiration comes from the beautiful Welsh landscape. Back in my studio, I like to weave in myth, poetry and personal history into the painting. The painting is unframed but as it is on a deep edge canvas, with the edges painted black, I prefer this to framing. It comes ready to hang.

In my paintings, I render in colour the stories of the physical and emotional landscapes that formed my experience of being born in Greece and then growing up in England and Cyprus, and now living and working in Wales. The actual process of my painting relates to this theme, as I use mixed media, building up and scraping back areas of paint to capture the atmosphere, mass, and light of the landscapes I am trying to depict. The actual process of my painting relates to this theme, as I use mixed media, building up and scraping back areas of paint to capture the atmosphere, mass, and light of the landscapes I am aiming to depict . In the series ‘The Gloaming,’ I explore ways of bringing these landscapes together and play with the similarities and contrasts: How being caught between two time perspectives – the Eastern Mediterranean is two hours ahead of England – two different kinds of light, two different cultures, results in both a feeling of richness and diversity of experience as well as a search for rootedness in the moment and in space. Dusk and the changes in light between sunset and darkness capture this feeling of ‘homelessness’ and search for ‘home.’ On the other hand, in the plays of light, in exploring ways of translating experiences and representing them in paint on the canvas, there is a liberating beauty too. In the 'Ithaca’ series, inspired by the Greek Poet Konstantinos Kavafis’ poem ‘Ithaca,’ I follow the theme further, exploring different possibilities of rootedness/rootlessness and the riches of the search for home. My later series, 'Time and Tide’ takes the theme further to a broader exploration of the temporal aspect of human experience and its relationship with nature, and the recent addition of gold leaf and metal in my work is inspired by time spent in Venice, visiting the Biennale, and Byzantine Iconography. Work held in private collections in the U.K, USA and Europe www.mariapierides.co.uk
