SILK

During the last week of July and the first two weeks of August 2009 Christina Kelessidou presented her paintings on silk in the Alonissos Museum. She uses 100% pure white silk and special iron-fixed paints. She also uses many painting techniques, such as Gutta resist outlines, free painting, alcohol technique, etc.

Painting on silk is one of the exciting avenues of artistic self expression. Silk is a lustrous, glossy, fabric that reacts beautifully to the brilliant paints and, with the use of different techniques has been used by artists to produce amazing pieces of art.

Here we give you some impressions of the exhibition combined with a brief look at het work.
