Dimitra Koula

Versatile interdisciplinary artist Dimitra Koula conveys her unique artistic vision throughout a wide range of mediums, from oils on canvas and pastels on paper to conceptual found object sculptures, in order to express her personal emotions, ideas, and thoughts to a global audience. By playing with texture, color, and dimension, Dimitra Koula adeptly explores art's uncanny communicative properties. Dimitra Koula's distinct pallet of vivid blues and magentas, deep umbers, and rich ochers recalls the iconic landscape and undoubted influence of her native Greece, but also works to express her individual mood.

In rendering the world around her, including mundane moments from every day life, flower strewn landscapes, and interior scenes, Dimitra Koula simplifies shapes and manipulates spatial arrangements to create decidedly modern works reminiscent of Cézanne and Matisse. The result is a body of work which speaks directly to the contemporary viewer, while remaining deeply informed by the great innovators of the past. Dimitra Koula lives and works in Greece.
