THEOFANO MELLIOU FINE ART
Photobymanios
Theofano Melliou was born in Athens, Greece. Conceptualizing    the    human    existence    as    a    multidimensional    field    of    exploration,    she struggles    to    merge    four    different,    sometimes    opposite    personalities,    in    one    ideal    and complete Renaissance Artist. PAINTING Theofano   Melliou   is   a   self-taught   painter,   frequently   seeking   for   technical   knowledge, inspiration   and   techniques   in   the   studios   of   well   known   artists,   as   well   as   in   Saint   Martin's School of Arts, London. The   central   idea   of   her   work   is   based   on   the   expression   of   a   very   personal   portrayal   of   a symbolic reality, always using the human figure in a leading role. In   the   past,   she   was   intrested   in   fary-tale   illustrations:   Intentionally   simplified,   her   figures of   the   human   body   are   inspired   by   the   atmosphere   of   fairy-tales   and   by   the   Medieval   and Byzantine figures. Later   on,   she   experimented   with   more   automatic   and   impulsive   techniques,   turning   from the symbolic towards the abstract. Today,   she   has   totally   turned   to   a   theatrical   and   symbolic   realism,   studying   the   meaning of   light,   getting   inspired   by   the   Renaissance,   the   theatrical   scenery,   history,   the   ancient Greek mythology, literature and music. MUSIC STUDIES Having   a   second   alter   ego   as   a   soprano,   Theofano   currently   continues   to   participate   in concerts, seminars and further studies with recognised teachers. THEATER Through the last ten years she has been a member of many theatrical groups. UNIVERSITY STUDIES The   artist   has   studied   French   Language   and   Literature   at   the   National   and   Capodestrian University   of   Athens,   and   accomplished   an   MA   diploma   in   Sociology   of   Education   at   the Institute   of   Education   of   London.   She   lives   and   works   as   a   French   and   English   language teacher in Athens.
