My work takes a variety of forms, abstract, figurative and narrative. The materials are clay, resin, plaster, acrylics, mixed media. All my sculptural works share a fascination about human connections, body language and individuality. “Nomatei”, is an installation of handmade, minumental, representational, full body portraits of individuals made of fired clay. My investigation is about a complex web of interactions which take place in the process, between artist, subject, viewer, participant, recipient, audience and object. I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. After 28 years in the communication and advertising sector, I turned my full attention to art. In 2010-12, I studied sculpture under Professor S?awomir Andrzej Mieleszko at the Art Institute of Maria Sk?odowska-Curie, University of Lublin, Poland. I received a Master’s degree in Fine Art at the University of Lincoln, UK and I am member of the Royal Society of Sculptors (http://rbs.org.uk/artists/eleni-zevgaridou).
