Sofia Petropoulou’s new collection of paintings drifts between pure abstraction, landscape and still life. The characteristic
ochre colour of her backgrounds provides a consistency through this collection, allowing the harmonious blocks and scrapes
of colour to jump out at the viewer.
Her paintings are directly inspired by the real world, a fact which lends every one of her canvases an element of familiarity.
Petropoulou’s work exhibits an evident sensitivity for colour and intense attention to the quality of her brush-strokes.
Movement, the subtle and intricate play and suggestion of light, these are the products of Petropoulou’s facility with the
brush. Sofia is able to pick up on the smallest vital details of the spirit of her subject and from them, to extract a profound
interpretation that walks the line between abstraction and naturalism.
