...Her realistic style and colourful tones characterize her work. Her main themes are the woman’s body and face. She aims to capture the look and mood by making faces “speak” through peace, love and anger which are depicted in her work. The mystic language she tries to convey to the art lovers leaves him/her to fulfill the image with him/her own personal taste.
…paintings of Dimitra Klironomou have a playful mood, with faces and bodies alive, realistic, speaking their own languages. Behind the gestures hiding a puzzle, behind the colors a feeling that is difficult but so delightful to guess.
