    Description

    "A World Beyond" series, is about myths, folklore, concepts and fairytales. Knowledge lost in the depths of time and modern science's persistent and permanent noise. But every now and then, sparkles emerge from the human gene memory, making people wondering for hidden truths.

    Nereids are an integral part of ancient Greek mythology. These divine creatures, followers of the sea god Poseidon, had powers over the liquid element and the space it occupied. They are described as lovely divinities, and were believed to be propitious to all sailors.They were worshipped in several parts of Greece, but more especially in sea-port towns. The epithets given them by the poets refer partly to their beauty and partly to their place of abode.

    Six asteroids were named after 6 nereids and that’s exactly the painting’s theme: These divine creautures, 6 beautiful women resting on the rocks by the sea, under a full of sters sky.

    Concept

    Ageliki is a realist painter from Greece. She works with oil on stretched canvas, although sometimes she prefers soft pastels and acrylics for her themes’ backrounds. Strongly influenced by Platonic theory, she often uses the anthropomorphism of concepts in her works. Her Greek origins are obvious at her themes, where she often uses ancient Greek mythology as well as the depiction of the liquid element,. In most of her works she uses symbolism and metaphors, which is why she insists on clear forms, while showing a preference for open compositions.
