Biographical note of Magdalini Sakelaridi
Magdalini Sakellaridi was born in Piraeus and raised in Volos. She started painting next to her parents , later she studied sketching for 3 years in the Scholl Xadjivaggelis. At the age of 16 she gained the first prize in Pan-Hellenic painting contest, with subject "The port of Volos".
At the age of 21 she finished her violin studies in the Hellenic Conservatory of Volos, next to her father, proffessor of Periclis Sakellaridis. For 16 years it will deal with the violin teaching and playing in the Symfonic Orchestra of Volos. At the same time she continued painting and in 1996 she decided to devote herself to painting.She opened her first studio in Volos, after in Skopelos and finally she came in Mykonos where it has organised art studio-Gallery in Goumenio Square, where it works and exposes, simultaneously.
Her subject is mostly the sea. She is painting on canvas and old wood, that she transforms in valuable piece of art.
She took part in a lot of personal and team art exhibitions.
The themes and materials that Sakellaridi decides to blend are closely connected. The ssoft wood, heavy ison, the rustle of the olive branch, the sand, the pebble and the seashell, complete the mosaic of memories and nostalgia is fully intergrated work in plastic arts.
One might as well think, that under the stroke of her paint brush, the nature, the air, the sea, the light and the female sensitivity and intuition of the artist are subconciously repeated.
