Elena Korakianitou - Anticipating Spring
Digital Art, Multimedia, Painting, Photography
My firsts 2009 paintings were made in the rainy cold, gray winter season when my body was starving for the light and the warmth of the sun. While I was "Anticipating Spring".
They are made with multiple layers of oil paint and wax through which a story reveals itself to me that needs to be told. I let the creative spirit take over.
As spring came along and the flowers started to bloom, Easter came along also with the familiar image of Jesus on the cross bleeding and the remembrance of suffering and forgiveness came along with the season.
I have create a new series of work, starting with Hitler shown in a state of pathos.
My latest series are created out of my desire to depict forgiveness and compassion even to the most improbable and monstrous humans.
