CHRISTIANA PAPAMALI

I was born and bred in Athens. From a tender age, Art taught me to balance the sheer forces of regularity and became the means of understanding my surroundings. A communication manual and a tool of expression... The cheap means of gameplay, water and soil, mud and color taught me to experiment, structure and abstraction. At first, they claimed and conquered my clothing and my shoes until they demanded and ruled over my mind, my notebooks and my walls (maybe some other people's walls too)... I began my studies in 1999 in England where I lived for the following 5 years until I came back to Greece. I opened my first workshop here and I systematically started working on figurative painting. Abstract, explosively colored anthropomorphic figures dominated on every surface.
