Since Saturday 14 December 2024, Sianti Gallery will be presenting its annual, Christmas group exhibition under the title “Small Paintings 2024-2025”. The exhibition, which has become one of our gallery’s favorite traditions, will introduce to our visitors works of approximately 30X30 cm., created by our new and old collaborators in an effort to fill the days of Christmas with colors and our best wishes. Participating in this celebratory event, are 34 visual artists, who welcome us through their artworks to a magical world of intimacy and wonder.
Sianti Gallery actively supports “ELPIDA-Association of Friends of Children with cancer”
As part of the exhibition, Sianti Gallery has the pleasure of hosting its 8th annual lottery, in order to support the Elpida Association. Our visitors will have the opportunity of contributing to this charity by purchasing lottery tickets at the price of 10 euros each, which will be available for the duration of the exhibition. All revenues will go to the Elpida Association. Through the purchase of these lottery tickets, our visitors will not only have the opportunity of supporting an important cause, but they will also have a chance of winning a painting by Kostas Spiriounis titled “Laurel and Olive” as the prize of the lottery, which will take place at the end of January, in the presence of a representative of the Elpida Association.
Paintings made by children, an offering of love to children
On December the 14th, at 12:00, our gallery’s little friends will also have the opportunity of participating in this charity event, creating paintings and wishing cards, which they will dedicate by name and offer as a gift to the children of the Children’s Oncology Unit.
The creations of our little friends will be exhibited to our gallery alongside the “Small Paintings 2024-2025” exhibition (from December 14th to January 11th) with the children being awarded for the act of love !
Small canvasses, great stories
Through the “Small Paintings” exhibition, Sianti Gallery wishes to promote the idea that even the smallest work of art can be great in power and substance. Small artworks are present throughout the History of Art, since the ancient years: the miniatures of Medieval Europe, the art on the Medieval manuscripts, the small Renaissance portraits made with oil or watercolors, which were used as mementoes or jewelry.
Until today, small artworks present a great challenge for every artist: it is an opportunity of experimenting and of trying new techniques, while the use of colors and shapes in a limited space leads to a unique way of expression. The artist is inspired by the need of depicting details with accuracy in order to create a personal bond of familiarity with the viewer.
