Opy Zouni

Opy Zouni was a Greek international artist who was born in Cairo in 1941. Her family's roots originate in Crete and Santorini. She lived and worked since 1963 in Athens. She died in 2008.Opy Zouni studied in Cairo at the Studio Zorian from 1959-1962, ceramics at the American College, photography in Athens and painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts, at the studio of the famous artist and professor, Yiannis Moralis. She had more than thirty three solo exhibitions and thirty seven group exhibitions. Many of her artworks belong in famous Museums all around the world as well in private collections.  

The main issue that has preoccupied her is the transition from two dimensions to three, the passage from a closed space to an open one. Through geometric shapes, bold colours, and a lyrical mood, She captures light, shadow, motion and perspective, and the immense space seems even more immense, due to the human absense.
