Erato has exhibited her works in numerous group exhibitions in Greece, and recently has started to promote her artwork abroad. Her work is influenced by Byzantine hagiography, and is full of eroticism together with a quality of naked forms. Artistic Statement The innovative style of Erato’s paintings immediately captures the art-lovers. Works of art deeply dedicated to the human being, strongly manifest the poetic existence of love and passion, scented with a unique manner. Figures are coupled so tunefully but they also keep their individual essence. One can see an ancient Greek breath with a Byzantine hagiography consistency but the real outcome generates a new touch that only Erato could introduce. The forms join into flesh clusters, where from an incomparable eroticism emerges, that tends to spiritualize the image and to compose a hymn to love. The bodies are twisted with elegance in excess, creating unprecedented twins that stimulate and turn out really sensational. The more Erato’s works are observed, the merrier it is realized that a continuous effort of inner research is latent Erato’s Greek parentage is clearly plotted in her works of art, where Mediterranean blue and soil brown colors, combined with the background white, guide the viewer to a soul exaltation, while the red strokes inspire the passion. Erato’s paintings go beyond conventional forms and manieres, bringing new era to the modern artists’ community and sending her sunny poetic message. by Jim Sofiou
