NATURAL IMPRESSIONS
The 64 artists from 22 different nationalities selected for this exhibition not only enrich our consensus on artistic expression and cultural perspective but also expand our understanding of nature and its representation in the arts. This reflective approach challenges established conventions, allowing for diverse interpretations and representations of the world. It awakens human consciousness to the source of inspiration that the capacity to imagine represents, encouraging the audience to reflect on their relationship with the world and recognize the importance of art as a profound connection with the intrinsic essence of humanity.

Georgia Fambris finds her emotional
outlet in painting, hand-tufted works,
and other mediums, and this is
evident in her expressive gestures as
she passionately engages with the
canvas. Her art encompasses both
action-performance and storytelling.
It is abstract yet descriptive, narrating
common stories that stem from an
overwhelming existential boredom.
Beneath the surface of apparent
indolence, there is a boiling intensity.
The artist is fully present within her
works, becoming deeply involved in
the entangled clusters of figurative
bodies. Like Laocoön, she struggles
to break free, only to find herself more
entangled and strangled. As observers,
we find ourselves contemplating
her emotional state during the
creative process. Is she in a state of
excitement? Hypomania, perhaps?
Fambris flails like Virginia Woolf,
battling the inevitable inner monsters
that emerge. With tenderness and
vulnerability, she loosens the grip of
these monsters’ tentacles when she
stops resisting them. (Excerpt from the
presentation text “Halaoua Domestic,
mini dramas” by Poka Yio, founder
and artistic director of the Biennale
of Athens, for Georgia Fambris’ solo
exhibition “All I Miss. Since Forever.”)
