• Professor Manos Stefanidis
The uniqueness of the work of Pelagia Angelopoulou, is that she managed to break away from the
strict limits of the frame as well as from the sterile representation of reality. She creates pieces
with
relief and three dimensions in a kind of post-Byzantine pop-art. In her compositions she combines
painting, collage, sculpture and even architecture. If the tessera is the symbol of the minimum
structure, is the basis on which our whole world is built as well as an image, then the work of
Pelagia Angelopoulou is thoroughly geometrical and notional in the sense of structuralism or
semantic art. Structure art conceptual. And this is exactly where a plethora of expressions are born,
like the austerity of the structure, the luxury of the produced image, the chance of the material,

fragile or modest units and the splendor of the final result, so that history and tradition are re-
proposed in a way that is not only impressive but original as well. One of her common “requests” is
the pursuit of the spiritual through the correlation of the material and the reading of history in
contemporary terms. That is why her work can touch and speak to the people of the 21st century.
