Eleni Pehlivani’s artwork is inspired by her Greek origins, specifically Komotini: a unique multicultural city bathed in vibrant color, stemming from religious and cultural diversity, including rich Asian stimuli.
\nHer work is adorned with elements from her roots and heritage, weaving ribbons of dream-like interventions into reality.
\nShe invites us into her multihued acrobatic playground with religious offerings and golden peels of prayer, sweeping across the canvas like brush strokes of magical childhood memories. Avant-gardism entangles with tradition, and multiple cultures intertwine, creating a colorful world of diversity and a future of shared progress.<\/p>\n
