Margarita Georgiadis

Margarita Georgiadis


About

"Georgiadis draws on the complexities and contradictions of the landscapes around her and of the people she conjures in paint. Her greatest skill is her ability to access the fragility of the human spirit. In every single work, there is a suggestion of the painfull falliability of humankind and a reminder of the cyclical quality of everlasting time". (Prue Gibson, Australian Art Review, 2010)

Born in Sydney, Australia of Greek/Egyptian parentage in 1968, Georgiadis lives and works in New South Wales, Australia.

Margarita's work explores the illusion of reality, the presence of absence and the law of the continuum of forms. Margarita's work is influenced by physics, literature, philosophy, mythology, film and cinema.

"Through the process of painting, my concerns are based on endless variations of silence and absence, presented as a series of fragmented narrative. 

Each of my paintings are like fragments of an unknown story, like a film still, removed from the sequence of the entire film; the viewer is only presented with one frame in order to evaluate and comprehend the infinite possibility of narrative that surrounds each painting.

I am interested in focusing attention on that which is not visible in the painting, that missing element of narrative that completes the story. 



I endeavour to paint the presence of absence".
