The vibrant red—a color she frequently uses to symbolize strength and perseverance—moves beyond the familiar greens of Thassos, known as the “emerald of the Aegean.”
This choice conveys Thassos as a land of warmth and unyielding spirit, rooted in both natural beauty and cultural endurance. Painted on handcrafted, rough paper, “Promised Land” captures the artist’s nostalgic yet powerful vision of the island, embodying her childhood memories intertwined with the island’s timeless vitality. Through this work, viewers are invited to see Thassos not just as a place but as a testament to strength and passion, embodying the essence of both heritage and resilience.
