Ionian Sky #1
60 cm diameter
Acrylics on canvas. Finished with a professional satin varnish.
Ionian Sky captures the serene beauty of sunrise, that quiet moment when the world transitions from darkness to light. Inspired by the artist’s autumn and winter mornings in Munich and the sunrises of her home country Greece, this abstract landscape blends memory and presence into a single visual experience.
Emerald green forms the foundation of the painting, evoking calm, balance, and depth — reminiscent of the Ionian Sea at dawn. Iridescent highlights of orange-yellow and gold bring warmth and vitality, symbolizing light breaking through the horizon. Together, these tones create a dynamic yet harmonious composition that reflects both tranquility and transformation.
