Pilar Angeloglou

Pilar Angeloglou is a Spanish artist who has lived in Paris since 1970. After studying Art History and Archeology at Ecole du Louvre and la Sorbonne, she decided to do painting. Her early works already reveal her independent and resolute character, and a pronounced taste for color.

In 1995, she turned to sculpture; Passionate about this discovery, the artist found her way. A true dialogue will be established between her painting and her sculpture, resulting in a coherent and rich work, imaginative and constructed where the sense of rhythm is essential.

Her architectures develop without any plan or prior drawing. The artist starts from an idea, an atmosphere, often from her Andalusian memory, which she tries to capture progressively, a rhythm, which is not always conscious, will be the origin of the form. Pilar Angeloglou reveals herself in the accuracy and rigor of these forms, in the tension established between the different parts. The edges are more important than the volumes they define, they are the framework of the space. The different planes create shadow and light. The void springs from the openings, animating the spirit, that of fullness.
