In parallel to her writing, Stella Sevastopoulos has also always practiced art, and in recent years has dedicated herself all the more to exploring her painting process, which is primarily inspired by nature.

It would be wonderful if you could come out and document this amazing group exhibit with 28 artists and even myself from the USA participating. Would be wonderful to have you spread the word and even come out to be there live and meet and greet some of the artists and the curator. I will also attach the flier for you. Feel free to share and please consider coming out to this event! Please spread the word and share! This is going to be an amazing and interesting with a variety of artistic / creative interpretations by the artists on the theme “Before Sunrise”
You will not want to miss this show!

Rise and Shine ; artists statement:
“A surreal sunrise casts a dreamlike glow over a bustling cityscape. With whimsical elements like a coffee cup atop a building, a few random cards, dominoes, and a banana, this acrylic on canvas captures the blend of chaos and calm that defines the moments before the city awakens.
The large clock and everyday street signs, from laundry lines to the streetlight, symbolize the intersection of time, dreams, and daily life at the brink of a new day.” Helene Ruiz 2024

‘’Before Sunrise;a group art exhibition’’
The works will reflect this mysterious time right before the sunrise as well as the moment the first sun beams reach earth. What happens to thoughts, dreams, nature and psychosynthesis in general during this time? “
