 
The paintings of Greek artist Rania Mesiskli reveal an imaginary city where optimism has free reign, taking the viewer on a kaleidoscopic journey into the heart of entertainment. The costumes display dynamism and unbridled energy, each one representing a unique approach and knowledge. Mesiskli offers a glimpse of the ecstasy at the heart of madness, the light at the heart of darkness. Her art celebrates humanity’s vital strength, driven by the thirst for renewal, and in it we see a gallery of intensely theatrical, vibrant characters rooted in universal archetypes, tinged with the influence of romanticism, commedia dell’arte traditions and the age of baroque, with elements from Africa and the Arabian Nights thrown in. Gazing into the eyes of her characters, we see the full range of human emotion, tempting us to wonder about the stories hidden within.
Rania Mesiskli creates a feast for the eyes that awakens the senses and the imagination by transforming her vision into something real through an expressive honesty. The result is a collection of paintings that are both relevant and timeless.
