Nature is the central theme of Ioanna Konstantinou' s paintings. Imaginary landscapes with bright, often unconventional and vivid colours depict mountains, seas, lakes and rivers. These landscapes, although they could have been identifiable, usually, they are not. The compositions, due to the strong colours, become somewhat “whimsical” and the compilation of unconventional geographical elements such as mountain-picks alongside with sea-waves is an extra personnal element that often appears in Ioanna Konstantinou's work. The artist's view is often close to the image and is looking at the details of things, but it can also become a bird' s eye view and look at the landscape from up the sky. The degree of coverage is then more than what an ordinary eye can see. These elements create Ioanna Konstantinou' s personnal view of Nature which invites us to appreciate it and to respect its greatness.
