ELENI PANOUKLIA
 

ARTIST STATEMENT

Eleni Panouklia (b.1972) completed her postgraduate studies in Sculpture on a scholarship she received from the Greek State Scholarship Foundation (2007). She studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Art (2004) and Chemistry at the University of Patras (1995).
She mainly creates site-specific installations. Her work focuses on a search for ways in which the energy fields present in a specific natural environment act upon the environment itself, as well as for the different ways in which the perceptive faculty of the human mind may respond to the four-dimensional. Subtle, almost indiscernible three-dimensional structures (medians) develop along the empty space that lies in between visible-perceptible elements. New environments thus emerge, which have incorporated new data. This process of enrichment poses additional questions regarding perception of the sensual world.
