PANTHALASSA

Concept:
Panthalassa, from the ancient Greek “pan” (all) and “thalassa” (sea), embodies Valentinaki’s visionary exploration of the oceans. The series evokes the all-encompassing, interconnected seas of the supercontinent Pangaea, transforming the canvas into a boundless voyage through aquatic realms. Each painting captures the chromatic magic of the ocean—from tranquil cerulean lagoons to the mysterious depths of indigo abyss—inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the fluidity and expansiveness of the sea.
Through her masterful use of resin, Valentinaki infuses her works with the very essence of water. Layered brushstrokes create a sense of motion, as if frozen waves ripple across the canvas, evoking both serenity and the ocean’s timeless power. Every hue and texture becomes a narrative element, guiding viewers on an introspective journey into the depths of imagination, memory, and the natural world.
Panthalassa stands as a hymn to the infinite beauty and mystery of the ocean—a visual symphony where color, movement, and material converge, offering a profound, immersive encounter with the sea.
