Rarely does an artist blend the elements of dreams and folklore as successfully as Korinna. Her paintings inspired by myths reflect a genuine appreciation and respect for her native Grecian landscapes and legends. Nature -or the emotional response to it- is central in every piece of Korinna’s art. Sky or water is often a backdrop for a focal point of contemplation. Korinna’s canvas is the base for strong acrylic hues, made even brighter by the avoidance of intermixed colors and an absence of black. Additional luster is achieved with the addition of gold, silver or copper flakes, crystals, and enamels, reflecting the brilliancy of the Greek atmosphere.
Korinna’s vision enables her to employ surrealist and expressionist mannerisms, but her imagination allows her to capture those influences and present them with fairytale nuances. The results have earned her first place in the prestigious Parnassos Literature Society’s 27th Fine Arts Annual Exhibition, as well as wide acceptance from significant national and international exhibitions. Korinna currently lives and works in Voula, a southeastern suburb of Athens Greece.
