Mariella Bilitsa, Fish Eater

60 x 55, Acrylics on canvas, 2022

Mariella Bilitsa was born in 1991, she grew up in Athens and in 2016 she graduated from the Department of Fine and Applied Arts of Florina. Since then, she lives and works as an Art Teacher in Primary Education around Greece. She has participated in various group exhibitions in Greece, Cyprus and England.

 My work is a mixture of personal experiences and associative thoughts. Inspired by my everyday life, by humans, their connection to animals, by the natural environment, my works end up in a set of complex narratives. The materials I usually use depend on the depiction of each project: collage, acrylics, watercolors, oil paints, are very often in my work. More precisely, the series of works with collages, is a series that consists only of reusable materials, such as plastic bags and fabric retaliation. Materials of useless objects that are collected throughout the year, so that in the end they are transformed into a work of art.
