Olga Plastira chooses the Naxos marble for her work and creations.
This dual choice and her artistic devotion are dynamically reflected in the creations.
Her sculptures draw inspiration and strength from the myths and the endless history of the land, they engage in a metaphysical relationship with the forms and structures of the age-old Cycladic art, and are in harmony with the scale and plasticity of the island landscape.
The artist senses the energy of the matter and of the land carefully unrolls the thread (mitos) avoiding stereotypes and known paths, embarks on new personal quests and voyages, while claiming her artistic identity in the modern era.
She tries, rejects and combines the marble with metal and clay; she is in a constant dialogue with the other arts, the prose and painting. She meets and converses with other artists inviting them in a creative co-existence.
In the exhibition hosted at Bazeos Tower, Olga Plastira invites the Polish painter, engraver and world citizen Andrzej Wisniewski. The plethoric and enigmatic nature of his works is in contrast to Plastiras’ simplicity and clear articulation. Their co-presence in the exhibition, in a historically-loaded space, is a unique experience punctuated in the present and forming a persistent memory for the future.
