Like a modern and femme fatale Eva that took a bite of the forbidden fruit from the “tree of knowledge”, each of these artists searches, answers about love, time, the universe and the man’s place in it.

I Shall be your Eve are Ermina Avramidou, Charoula Nikolaidou and Christina Papaioannou. Each artist, in her own way, assesses human existence. Εrmina Avramidou born in Thessaloniki now lives and works in London. She experiments particularly with light and is interested in its depiction. She wants her paintings to be sources of light, emitting their own rays. Her paintings reflect stages of her own journey, of which she was unaware when it was occurring. This is one of the greatest excitements in art, the capacity to make the invisible reveal itself and integrate it in our conscious existence. One can recognize that the landscapes depicted in her work and the way they are presented resemble mysterious landscapes of primitive origin. Charoula Nikolaidou lives and works in Thessaloniki. Her art is gestural and instinctual, driven by an axis that is both personal and experiential, the sense of perception playing a vital role. The sense of time is ever present in her works, represented by every element or brushstroke. The relation between figures and the empty space is one of the opposites but also complementary at the same time. Through the artist's powerful gestures on the canvas, the paintings of Charoula Nikolaidou can be seen as existential fields of anticipation, where body and spirit, love and loneliness meet and at the same time are conflicting each other and also reflect the thirst for life, as well as the poetic and therapeutic role of art.
