About Eleni

Based in Sydney, Australia

An artist statement:

My work is primarily charcoal and mixed-media. Twigs from the willow tree, extracted and burned at high temperatures. The paradox? Creation stems from Destruction. Charcoal is messy, but the clarity lies within the chaos. The mess and uncertainty must be embraced, only then what is hidden, can reveal itself. I strive to depict the "human condition" in my art. It is my personal reflection of both the Light and Dark—exploring the beauty and struggle that coexist in life. I have discovered charcoal allows me to embody the fluidity I crave for in my process, the beginnings are very loose and free form. By gradually building up form from disorder, I uncover structure. This raw emotion invites me to share a vulnerability which is otherwise hard to communicate. 

I am a Greek-Cypriot Australian. I have sung in multiple events, Eisteddfods, and city busking, in Greek and English. I am available for live gigs, community events, and cultural festivals.
