Cosmomorphy

Large scale squares and parallelograms full of colour and repeated patterns unfold a whole period, an aspect of Ioanna Rallis’s world. They began as a background for her photographs and gradually they broke away as independent works. In a time of great psychological pressure and sense of entrapment for most people, these works lighten the human soul. Even though they started as a method of reorganization for the artist, in a most difficult period of her life, as a form of exercise, these works ended up as an independent unit of works following their own course. She just had to follow them on their path and keep working. They bring in mind the ‘Mandalas’, symmetrical Buddhist designs – works that express harmony and entirety in various spiritual traditions.

Ioanna Ralli lives and works in Athens, Greece.
