Alisi

Artist bio:ALISI (Aliki Sitzoglou) was born in Thessaloniki, Greece lives and works in Bologna, Italy. Aliki has also taken part in a moderate number of exhibitions, related to art and culture acts. Makes installations, handmade carpets,performance costumes. Embroidery and mixed media with fabrics are the main features of her works. Memories from her childhood, the roots and places she was brought up, are a huge part of her artistic inspiration. Her relationship with the Greek civilization is particularly strong and meaningful. This feature can be easily found in her work, as there are a huge number of references to mythology, elements taken from traditional pieces of clothing, and also archetype symbols. Through all these features, she can isolate specific elements and tries to create her own contemporary result. Depending on the interpretation of each symbolism, she uses relevant coloring. Every piece of embroidery and figure of fabric in her work includes a story behind it, either personal or a story of the past.
