About the exhibition:”Danae Skaraki’s  Mediterranean Women”
This is the first presentation of the painting project of Danai Skaraki in public. It includes portraits of women,  children and and adolescents.The models are the vivid memories of women who passed Danai’s  home in Benghazi, Libya, when she was young – women from all over the Mediterranean.

Danai painted these memories with quick and powerful brushstrokes, bold colors and forms. Bodies and eyes of women, resisting the photographic impression of the moment, encourage the viewer to look behind the apparent image of a photo.

Resume:

Danai Skaraki  was born in Benghazi, Libya, where she also spent her school years.

In 1977 she acquired her diploma in Architecture from the Architecture School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Along with architecture and  painting she has been  experimenting with materials and forms since her studies at  university.
