Dora Rizou  is a great Greek artist with works that have left an indelible mark on our popular/pop culture and through the covers of the most important music albums. A multifaceted artist, an insightful person, a citizen with an opinion and intervention in the community and hostess of one of the most beautiful places in downtown Athens, Black Duck!

Mrs.Dina Adamopoulou on behalf of the GSA/Historical Archives-Museum of Hydra writes about the exhibition of Dora Rizou:

Dora Rizou, known for creating a wide range of works including portraits, landscapes, abstract compositions and representations, is one of the most distinguished and innovative artists of contemporary Greek painting. Born and raised in an environment rich in cultural influences, she developed from an early age a deep love for art and expression through colour and form. Her studies at renowned art schools in Greece and abroad allowed her to develop her techniques and broaden her artistic horizons.

Dora Rizou is not just a painter; she is a true storyteller who uses the canvas as a medium to tell stories full of emotion, thought and imagination. With each of her works, she invites the viewer on a journey of self-discovery and inner search, making them part of an ongoing dialogue between art and life.

I believe that each of her works is a unique story, full of emotions and meanings, revealing to art lovers a creator who constantly redefines the boundaries of contemporary painting with her innovation and sensitivity.
Her art is distinguished for its refined aesthetics and the originality that her creations exude, always mixed with a sense of peace and harmony. With a deep understanding of colours and forms, Dora manages to capture in her works the essence of the human soul and nature.

Dora Rizou’s work is characterized by the diversity of her subjects and the inventive use of materials. Through her works, she explores man’s relationship with nature, inner psychological processes, and social interactions. One of the central elements in her work is the use of light. Rizou manages to capture the interaction of light with objects and people in a unique way, giving depth and verisimilitude to her compositions. Her technique often involves the application of multiple layers of paint, giving her creations a texture and complexity rarely seen. Her bold color palette and dynamic brushwork create paintings that radiate energy and vibrancy.

Dora Rizou’s exhibitions, both in Greece and abroad, have received rave reviews, and her work has been awarded many times for its originality and aesthetic value. Her works are in private collections and she continues to create with undiminished passion, always maintaining a deep connection with her roots and tradition, while seeking new ways of expression and experimentation.
