你好，我是

Theodora M Stougiannou

色彩、线条和抽象的流动——故事最吸引我们的地方，或许并非在于它试图传达的画面的生动性。我们或许会发现自己置身于梦境之中，有时是自己的，有时是他人的。谁能说出什么是真实的，什么是虚幻的——除了做梦的人，没有人能说得清。

关于

“Colours, lines and abstract flows — what compels us in a story most, if not the vividness of the pictures it is trying to convey. That we might find ourselves within a dream, sometimes our own, sometimes someone else’s. Who can say what is real and what is not — nobody, but the dreamer”.

My paintings are stories; stories of ancient times long gone, stories of fantasy, stories of mythology. I use intricate linework, abstract forms inspired by natural and mythical creatures, all in vivid colours. My work often seems like depiction of a dream, and in this dream, any oddity or strangeness needs no further explanation.

“It is the flow that unifies my work -- the flow of the ley lines, the flow of time, the flow of reality and chaos. Always eternally flowing, with neither an end nor a beginning”

I grew up in Canada and later Greece, and although my university studies have been mostly in medicine and biology, I have always created art. I took lessons in drawing and painting techniques, as well as byzantine iconography, when I was younger. I only recently
started showing my work, both online, as well as in art galleries.

I am Theodora Stougiannou (although I often like to use the Americanized version of my name – Stougiannos), and I grew up in Greece and Canada – my “home” was essentially always split between two very distant places, and I think it influenced many of the themes I use in my art – longing for a home that’s always far away, looking at the stars etc. I took lessons in various art techniques while I was still in elementary school, including byzantine iconography, and, although I left the craft for a while, due to my studies in medicine and biology, I now like to create art whenever I can, and share it with anyone who wishes to be immersed within the fantastical surrealism it portrays.

您会如何向第一次看到您的作品的人描述它？

我的艺术主要描绘带有梦幻和奇幻元素的超现实主义风景，以及受自然和奇幻启发的主题和形式的抽象描绘。在我的作品中，我喜欢融入复杂的线条，营造动感的视觉效果；我喜欢想象颜料在画布上旋转、嗖嗖作响——一幅画作常常会让人产生音乐的印象，即使音乐并非真实存在，我们也无法听到。此外，我的作品往往相互关联——我将其视为世界构建——不同的画作通常从不同的视角、不同的时间线、不同的视角描绘相同的主题或区域；本质上，这是我试图将不同的世界融入画布。

哪些艺术家对您的作品产生了影响？

我的作品主要受到超现实主义和后印象派的影响；我喜欢描绘不合逻辑的场景，这些场景类似于或重现了梦境，以及我开始绘画时可能不自觉地浮现在脑海中的形态。所有这些都是通过大胆的色彩，或相互对比的色彩来呈现的，只是为了更加戏剧性地强调光影的效果。我还受到了年轻时学习的拜占庭肖像画技巧以及象征主义的影响。

If you could collaborate with any artist past or present, who would you select and why?

我想我会选择文森特梵高，尽管我确信这是一个相当受欢迎的选择；然而，梵高确实是我最喜欢的选择，因为我确实喜欢他发展的个人风格，包括明显浓重的笔触，营造出一种运动感，以及充满活力的表现主义色彩。

What can we expect to see from you in the future?

I really wish to delve deeper into the surrealism and world building I create through my work – I also hope to create larger-sized paintings, which might not be feasible at the moment due to space constraints and a lack of larger studio space. I really want every artistic piece of work I produce to seem like a doorway or window to a different dreamworld. This is also one of the reasons I like to create movement with ink and splashes of color – creating the illusion of a moving painting, a painting that only sits still, if only for a moment, while we look at it. It will start to move and swirl as our eyes move away from it – the essence of movement, as a mere glimpse, from the corner of our eyes.
