BY GREEK ARTIST MARIA FILOPOULOU

A MODERN WATER NYMPH WHO LOVES SWIMMING UNDERWATER, EXPRESSES HER AFFINITY WITH THE OCEAN IN

AND THE JOY OF CAREFREE SURRENDER TO WAVES AND SPRAY

Painter Maria Filopoulou, born in Athens 1964, studied in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts from 1984-1988.

She continued with postgraduate studies, awarded a scholarship by the French government.

Since 1990 she has had seventeen solo exhibitions, several in Greece, three in Paris, others in New York and London.

From 1987 until 2011 at least one hundred group exhibitions have celebrated her work in galleries around the world, her paintings can be seen in the Greek Parliament and

Athens National Gallery of Fine Art and private museums and collections in Greece and abroad.

Belgravia Gallery will feature approximately 25 paintings.

Maria Filopoulou talks about her water paintings as ‘scenes of paradise, where people feel the eroticism of being in the water,

experience a sense of well-being, relaxation and union with nature.’
