The Greek artist Rania Mesiskli brings the theatricality of her profession in the entertaining industry as a singer, producing vivid, dynamic works evoking spectacle and provoking the imagination to dream of the impossible. Mesiskli is self-taught. She seeks to stimulate and uplift the human spirit with an exciting sense of artful energy and joie de vivre of ballets, circus images, theatrical plays and glamour fashion captured at the height of their performances. Her paintings are graceful and rich in details.
The tenacity and dynamism in her works openly suggests that the artist may well be imagining herself in the compositions. She is inspired by the artists Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, Georges Seurat, Edgar Degas, Mark Chagall and the aerialist Suzanne Valadon who became an acclaimed artist. Rania Mesiskli: "At the heart of show business lies the moment, that instant in which dream and discipline meet in celebration of the human spirit. People use strength, daring and artistry to overcome even for a moment, human limitations. My artwork is dedicated to all the people". Rania Mesiskli lives and works in New York City.
