Stavroula Michalopoulou
Seabed Scenery, acrylic on canvas, 100x90 cm.
I was born, grew up and I work Athens. I studied in the school of Fine arts of Athens in the 1st lab of painting with the professor Aggelos Antonopoulos.
The water and the sea-bottom include the two elements of great importance in my artistic and researching work as far as the subject is concerned but also the procedure of its productivity.
The water is one of the four elements among the earth, the air, and the fire, and is the basic ingredient of all organisms and is a necessary condition for life.
Full of meanings with various symbolisms, from ancient times until today, the transparency which characterizes it designates to a cleansing mean of purification.
Through the procedure of leaving the art work in the environment of the sea-bottom besides the technical experiments I pursue to take out the truth from everything which is excessive keeping distance away from my subjective representation of foreign and unknown reality and also to deliver the art work to the purification of water, redeeming in this way symbolically the painting surface from the struggle of the artist between the materials and one,s doubts.
