Space Through Colour and Illusion

The author traces influences on her artwork, which include the effects of the characteristic light and the vast desert and seascapes in her homeland, Egypt, and her present home, Greece. The geometrical structures evident in the art and architecture of both countries have also contributed to the author’s development. Space, perspective, optical illusion, colour, light, method of construction and the natural characteristics of materials are discussed in relation to the author’s painting, sculpture and environmental works.
