White clown Painting

Each person carries a story and each expression hides a whole world of emotions. "White clown" is a theatrical term. Contrary to the clumsy "August clown", White ones are sad, silent, with a bitter sense of humor. This is exactly the way artist wants to depict her model. Sadness is obvious at the composition. Raindrops at the background, night time and dull colors state all those that central character conceals. 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. In her paintings, the crudest part of reality is abandoned to leave room for all the delicacy that characterises certain moments, certain instants or the people who are the protagonists of that emotional photogram; the chromatic range becomes a functional means of expressing that sensitivity that inevitably emerges from the faces portrayed, from the way the artist observes children or women, who belong to a light, tenuous and pure world when observed in their spontaneity. Ageliki Alexandridou seems to spy the most significant expressions of the moment she chooses to immortalise, infusing the final image with a sensation of solemnity heightened by reference to the symbols that often accompany and distinguish the protagonists of her canvases. 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..."
