🥂🌊SNEAK PEAK BEFORE TOMORROW'S OPENING!

🥂TOMORROW🥂 The ancient Greek philosophy of Eudaimonia directly translates to "GOOD-SPIRITS" Living in EUDAIMONIA means your heart pours out with unconditional love. Love for yourself, love for your fellow humans, love for nature, love for work, love for life. Every action, every word, every thought is rooted in UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I am so beyond honored to show you through ART how we all can experience EUDAIMONIA in our everyday life. Seeing these works of art all come together has been such a surreal experience. For over 5 years now I've spent over a thousand hours in my studio painting in solitude. Creating works of art, writing stories, learning about the philosophies of antiquity. The daily meditative practice of drawing and painting has lead me to this moment you see here today. Learning to discipline my thoughts, and simply trust in the daily actions is what lead me to this moment of ultimate human flourishing. Being able to celebrate the creations of not only my hands, but bringing together Greek Woman from across the country and across the WORLD to gather in this space is truly a gift from God. I whole heartedly believe the Holy Spirt has been guiding my heart and my actions to curate this remarkable show. Every step of organizing has felt effortless. The themes, conversations and stories around this exhibition have been flowing through me and all the exhibiting artists like water. And by God's grace, I get to bring into your life more beauty more hope more joy more peace and more love. Colorful, meaningful, and spiritual artwork is meant to adorn our living spaces. I am honored, and humbled to present this labor of true unconditional love to you tomorrow. And I feel so incredibly blessed to be your guide to CREATING EUDAIMONIA in your own life!

​ A Note from the Curator, Christina Angelos: My name is Christina Angelos and I am a professional Fine Artist focusing on painting our soul's mystical experience of the water and cliffs of Greece. As a Greek Orthodox Christian it is my goal to create visual narratives that tell the story of how our "nous" or "subconscious mind" experiences the mystical energy of God's creation. Through flowing abstract lines, I capture not only the fingerprint of each wave, but also capture the invisible energy that nature possesses. The themes and philosophies of the fine art are also correlated to my Greek ancestry. The blue and white colors that I choose to use often in my paintings of the ocean are a homage to the blue and white of the Greek Flag. Blue symbolizing Freedom, hope, and prosperity as well as the blue waves of the waters and the skies of Greece. And white symbolizing the peace and purity of the soul as well as the white foam from the crashing waves of sea. The cross on the Greek flag is a symbol of orthodoxy, and the glorification of the divine. I love to think as my paintings as a modern day representation of the national Greek Flag. This curation of artworks is a visual exploration of our Greek Heritage, the history of our ancestors, and our shared experience of the bliss and majesty the land of Greece brings to our souls every single day, even when we are thousands of miles away from our Homeland. Like when Odysseus was thousands of miles away from his home, he know his true home existed within his heart. And that is the story we are telling as a collective through our artwork. The reason why I organized this group exhibition is because personally I am obsessed with Greek culture and creating art. Greece and art are woven into every inch of my being, and I can't help but share my passion and love with my community. Over the years I have been discovering so many amazing women through Instagram that share my story of our ancestors immigrating from Greece to create a better life for us. These women share the same obsession with creating as I do and their love for their culture exudes out of them like a fragrant scent of a flower. As an artist, you can sometimes feel like the black sheep of your family and of society. No one around you seems to see the world like you do, or have such a sensitive spiritual connection to every little human experience. I for one hand felt very alone for a very long time. I felt like I was the only one feeling this deep sense of connection to the Land of Greece, and to my art practice. When I began to discover that there were other women who not only were obsessed with creating art, but also shared my love for our Greek Heritage, I knew it was my calling to bring all these women together to show our work in one physical room. I am so grateful that I met the gallery owner of Celestial Art Curation Gallery in Hinsdale, IL. I was one of the first artists she on-boarded when her gallery was only virtual. Our relationship blossomed from being fellow artists to becoming close friends. This blooming friendship and the opening of the physical gallery in the heart of Downtown Hinsdale, became the catalyst to beginning the curation of this exhibition.
