Artist Biography / Artist Statement:

Eleni Paridi’s work is an experimental, visual exploration of crystalline minerals.
As crystals embody Earth's early history, the artist approaches the unseen with the qualities of transparency and the dynamics of colourful illumination.

“Deepening our gaze beyond the surface, we discover another picture that we might not have imagined existed, expanding our perception of reality and understanding.” — E.P.

Eleni studied psychology and business administration. She has worked as a graphic designer, art director, radio producer, journalist, and music critic. Her interest in human nature led her to explore various approaches to psychotherapy—including psychodrama, family constellations, and art therapy—as well as different methods of holistic energy treatments such as Reiki, crystal healing, and more. Since 2017, the world of crystals has become the subject of her photographic interest.
