Description

VASSILIKI (b. Greek 1960) has established a powerful presence within the contemporary art world for more than three decades. With interdisciplinary studies ranging from Literature to Fine Arts and Philosophy, she completed her Academic background with post graduate studies with her favourite professor, Nicolas Carone in Italy.

Recognised by her monumental size installations, kinetic and non kinetic, hand crafted and hand painted serve as visual testaments to her inspiration from ancient Greek philosophy and universal sacred geometric symbols attracting record breaking numbers of viewers worldwide. Throughout the huge body of her works, both sculptures and paintings, adorned with concealed metaphysical meanings, possess an ethereal quality that captivates viewers and invites them to explore the realms of human and divine elements. The cross, the sphere, the triangle, the rhombus and the wheel are only some of the geometric shapes and symbols which have obsessed her artistic dedication so far.

For almost forty years Vassiliki insists on her unparalleled level of control and mastery of her chosen medium making the viewer wonder on the infused energy of her forms and patterns. The City of Crosses was her first monumental installation provoking extreme reactions by religious and political minorities.

The Temple of Colors has been the biggest in size hand painted work so far (2000 m²), while The City of Games remains one of her most iconic works worldwide.

During the decade 2007-2017 Vassiliki devoted herself to a profound exploration of the absence and loss in the human nature through her series Elapse choosing as the protagonist of her stage the sculpture of an empty chair through a dynamic geometric form awakening a sense of life even within the absolute absence.
