An Artist is never alone. She is always with the forms, shapes, lines, and colours that she creates. In the case of Domna Delliou this is more obvious as her forms are mainly people, men and women, who dominate the picture instead of being secondary motives in the composition.
Faces, fragements of faces or bodies, provide clothing for natural materials such as wood or rocks, even, at times everyday objects such as chairs, boxes, and trunks are transformed into works of art bearing obvious marks of handicraft.
Working in acryllic on canvass as well as other materials, Domna’s world is always understandable and recognisable, creating a style inherited from ‘ popular ‘ and Byzantine art, but with her own personal sense of space and form.
Many fragments of human history are used in her art, pre-historical Cycladic statues, the classical statues of Kourous and Kores, Fayum and Byzantine art, and popular art, are brought together without affectation. The strong penetrating eyes and intense glances are reminiscent of Byzantine art and the master painters, Kontoglou, Eggonopoulous, Eygptian painters, and the work of the graphic artist in advertising.
