In the work of Electra Varnava, the human form becomes a field of internal tension, surreal dislocation, and personal awakening. Rooted in realism but reaching toward the metaphysical, her portraits and constructed scenes do not simply depict the figure — they transform it into a psychological terrain. Each painting unfolds as an open process of discovery, often guided by spontaneous interventions that reveal emotional and conceptual layers beyond the original intention. The result is not a single truth, but a set of shifting perspectives — sometimes contradictory, always intimate. Her images function as moments of revelation: the viewer is drawn into the space between order and disorder, observation and action, memory and the body. The narrative is often subtle, infused with irony or quiet paradox, evoking a world where stillness carries meaning and the surreal emerges from the everyday. In a world that passively watches, Electra paints those who choose to move.
