Salome Economides is the classic case of genuine talent. who did not want to follow in her parents’ professional footsteps, but was instead driven by artistic concerns she had had since she was young.. His daughter Babo Economides, Businessman and well known member David’s family from Coca-ColaWhich Angela Faggione, The family to which the work belongs Sharm El-SheikhAfter finishing school she moved to London where she lived for six precious years. Raised in art since she was a child, as her parents, in addition to being art lovers, were also prominent art collectors. Salome studies art history In the famous Goldsmiths University of London Then he gets a master’s degree in Artistical worksIn the Sotheby’s Institute of Art“Although I realized during my studies that the world of art business is vast, something always drew me to creativity,” Admits to Gala Magazine.

We met in Tat Gallery Located in the new Astir Marina in Vouliagmeni and hosting the group exhibition “Temporality” in which Salome participates by presenting her works to the public for the first time. Colors and an original capture of reality and popular mood from a modern 24-year-old girl who filters life through her own artistic eye.

“Since I was a child, I have used drawing as a means of expression. Since I became aware of my existence, I remember sitting with my grandmother, who was also an artist, and spending long hours in her studio. They said that I looked like her and that I also had an artistic sense. At home, I would always listen to discussions about art since my father University“The challenge was to be able to stand alongside the many great painters I had always seen decorating our premises.”

The pandemic period was a good opportunity for Salome to dedicate herself to what she loves most. “During the coronavirus period, like everyone else, I had a lot of free time and I realized that the only thing that helped me was spending endless hours practicing my favorite hobby until then, which was painting,” he says. Salome is still hesitant, she has not finished her studies yet and does not know how she will act the next day, until a British man visits her house in London as a potential buyer of the property and becomes obsessed with one of her paintings. “Instead of buying the house, he bought my painting after all.”“And so, by pure chance and without any effort, my first work was sold,” he says with a smile.

At TAAT, in New Aster Marina VouliagmeniHer paintings are among the creations of major international artists such as Alex Katz, Takis, Chrysa, Stephen Adonakos, Fassianos, etc. and have already been sold.

This warm response from the audience has given her wings for the next steps.He is preparing for a solo exhibition in the fall in Greece and later abroad. Her works, with their humorous mood and bright colors, take the language out of the bad texts of the time. “Through my works I express my feelings and criticize our society. I embody the world we live in now as adults starting from the games we played as little children and continuing with the games of life today. Since consumerism is the modern scourge in which we are manipulated from a very young age into the false belief that we control our choices, through my art I want to highlight the hypocrisy behind the simplest things, such as a child’s toy. In the end, things and people become part of the same game.».

We chat casually as we walk along the country’s most cosmopolitan pier. “I see things from the positive side. Being optimistic, I love posting upbeat messages.always with some nails of course, in bright, happy and radiant colors because life is beautiful even with its difficulties and problems. The use of colors is always reminiscent of traditional painting but infused with pop culture elements that enhance the sense of absurdity and escapism through play. For me, the only fatal mistake one can make is to pretend that one is not part of the ongoing game of hide and seek with reality. In the end, material possessions are never enough to hide the games we play and practice in life.”

Although she was devoted to classical painting – her house was filled with works by well-known Greek and foreign artists – Salome Oikonomidis is a girl who lives today and has an artistic status. She spends endless hours in her studio and divides her time between Greece and Switzerland, the countries where she and her family live. After the success she achieved in Greece, her eyes have already turned abroad, especially in the age of technology, where art and dreams have no borders. Major galleries in Europe and America are already holding discussions with her, while talent hunters in the art world whisper: “Salome Economides: Withhold the name. It’s the next big thing.”
