Beam of Light III Print

I use motifs in the landscape and landscape as starting points for highly personal dialogues with the natural world. My work is characterised by richly textured surfaces which evoke the dynamics of the unfettered motion of the sea and the brooding power and mystery of the landscape. These transitory evocative images are not representational however but seek instead to elicit the sensations, memories and wonder associated with our experiences and encounters with raw nature. My abstract works encompass a wide range of mixed media techniques including the use of sand, vitro, acrylic and oil, varnish, collage and found materials. With great dexterity I then synthesize these disparate elements into a refined chromatic harmony- paintings which are at once ambivalent, monumental and enigmatic. www.thekla-papadopoulou.com https://www.facebook.com/theklapapadopoulouart www.behance.net/theklapapadopoulou"Ž
