Eleni Pappa Tsantilis

After applying the paint using brushes, painting knives, sponge, utensils that I make myself or directly through the tube, I rub, I remove the paint while still wet or dried.

It leaves traces, a worn effect and it creates a story. Blue, white and black are recurring colors in my paintings. Material, color and composition a perpetual challenge for new creations.

What is important to me is honesty, intuition, and self-expression. I express my work through colors, textures and materials, continually questioning myself.

A significant number of my works are in collections around the world.
