A contemporary realist pastel painter, Irene Georgopoulou has won awards around the world. Her passion lies in capturing the essence of everyday objects, and evoking emotion through her luminous still lifes and captivating portraits. Her subject matter, composition and overall aesthetic, as well as her bold use of color, give her work a modern vibe and contemporary flavor. Her ability to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary compositions resonates deeply with those who appreciate the beauty in simplicity.
The paintings featured here are part of a series that delves into the rich tapestry of vintage and diverse subjects. “By capturing these items, I seek to evoke curiosity about the hidden stories they hold, stirring memories, nostalgia, and a spectrum of emotions within the observer,” says Irene Georgopoulou. “I have used Carbothello, Pitt, Derwend pastel pencils and Blockx, unison and Richeson hand-made pastel sticks on Pastelmat.”
