Hydra island hosts exhibition ‘The Secret Breeze of Hydra’ by Katerina Serafetinidou
The exhibition “The Secret Breeze of Hydra” by Katerina Serafetinidou was inaugurated last week at the Historical Archive-Museum of Hydra.
This thematic exhibition features over fifteen mixed media paintings inspired by Serafetinidou’s explorations of Hydra during both winter and summer.
Dina Adamopoulou, head of the General State Archives and a historian-archivist, praised Serafetinidou as a significant figure in contemporary Greek painting. She noted Serafetinidou’s ability to blend traditional and modern techniques and materials.
“Through her art, Serafetinidou seeks to connect aesthetics with emotion and reflection, conveying a poetic sensitivity and the same zest of soul, sincerity, and integrity that define her as a person,” said Adamopoulou.
Art critic Takis Mavrotas remarked that Serafetinidou’s work “navigates the struggle between heart and mind, the ego and the collective.”
Born in Athens in 1967, Serafetinidou studied applied economics, marketing, and advertising in London, where she engaged with contemporary art and studied the works of renowned painters. She has participated in group exhibitions at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens and successfully held her first solo exhibition at the Skoufa Gallery in 2024.
Exhibition Duration: June 28 – July 31
Operating Hours: Daily, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. – 9.30 p.m.
