THE LAKE
The series of works in aquarelle technique entitled “The Lake” is dedicated to the natural reserve – Lake Kerkini,
near which the artist now lives after moving to one of the nearby villages.
The move gave the artist the opportunity to immerse herself deeply in the rhythm of the area. Daily observations of nature and conversations with local residents about the peculiarities of these places became a source of visual metaphors and plots. It combines stylized landscapes, ornamental flower motifs, animals, birds, and human figures. There is no exact nature here. Instead, there are simplified forms, rhythms, patterns, and color combinations that convey the character of the lake’s ecosystem and the author’s emotional response to it.
This series was conceived by the author to reflect the character and biological diversity of the lake through artistic and illustrative language and to explain why this place is important and why it is worth preserving.
