The Child's Room
Vasiliki Siatara 

Description: On this artwork I present by painting with acrylics a child’s room, while I create a confusion by reflecting a figure of a girl. Her face is painted like broken pieces, giving a feeling of transparency on the space around.

A huge bear, a kid’s play bear lays in the back side of the room, the bed is old and damaged – not suitable for sleep and the ground is destroyed also. All that scene is “introduced” by an open door, like we look at it from the outside, from the “keyhole”. 

About the artist: My name is Vasiliki Siatara. I live and work in Ioannina, Greece. I am in the forth year of my studies at the School of Fine Arts of the University of IoanninaI have participated in several group exhibitions, inside and outside the university.

Recently I won the Wsa Painting Prize (Winchester Painting Prize 2024, being on the 10 finalists exhibited on Winchester Gallery) My main subject is the person, the child and small daily moments that involve the present with the past and are usually transformed on a white sheet into symbols and images with multiple interpretations.

​I set up a picture, usually with faces and figures from my close family environment (past & present) where they tell the story that each individual will read when they look at them. Every kind of emotion that a person can feel defines my subject matter. Painting with acrylics and markers on sheet, and printmaking methods such as woodcut and intaglio are the main body of my work today.
