About the Item
Water
Light are two main components that make the Greek landscape unique and irresistible. Greek painter Maria Filopoulou takes up these two clichés unashamedly and transforms their touristic banality into visual embraces that are intended to purify and transport the viewer to imaginary places of paradisiacal calm.
This oil on canvas by Greek artist Maria Filopoulou is a celebration of the gaze. It depicts swimmers—embodying the joy and freedom reminiscent of Adam and Eve—casting their naked bodies into the depths of the water. Through the artist’s depiction, we are granted a sense of being present with them, immersed in the cleansing, clear waters.
Swimmers are a recurring motif in Filopoulou’s work, reflecting her affinity for portraying idyllic, welcoming landscapes at sea and on land, which mirror her generous nature. However, in this piece, her compositional approach is notably different. The vastness of the sea transitions to an intimate inland embrace, offering a space filled with potential and intimacy.
Filopoulou’s instinctive connection to water guides her artistic expression. She observes the sea daily, deriving pleasure from its presence, and channels this authentic experience into her painting. Her work conveys her personal truth—unembellished and sincere—sharing her passions for travel, play, and the natural world with viewers.
