Aphrodite Vairaktaris

With various tools and brushes and mediums, I recreate scenes and imagery that I have experienced.  

Layers of gesso are applied as my first step, mixing a variety of shades to create a unique backdrop.  I let the gesso form peaks to provide texture to give my work life.  I let my tools navigate me, steering me through the storyline.  They create crevices, alleyways, earth, water, sky, figures.  I do not pay much attention to detail; if I am successful, you as the viewer will understand my intent with what I have left out.
