“Inspired by Nature”, using a very unique perspective, her work flirts with both abstract and representational elements.
Chrysa Vergi is a nature painter. She is passionate about nature… She works on the works of descent and as a diligent farmer would, she bends down to study her subject, to smell the wet soil, the swamp, the moss, to listen to the deafening clicks of the life that freaks out below the surface. To convey the feeling that overwhelms her, she invents ways and techniques that will help her capture and later convey to the viewer of her work this secret feeling, the secret life. In the battle she fights with the empty crate, she summons and conjures up all her senses in a platonic training, which is necessary for her to create a visual array, with the living piece of nature she wants to capture….” (Marina Lambraki-Plaka, Professor of Art History, Director of the National Gallery)
