This summer, the GSA/Historical Archive – Museum of Hydra presents an exhibition by artist Vasso Triga entitled “Writings and Maps.” In a historically charged space, the artist invites us on a visual journey that combines painting and ceramics, light and silence, memory and place.

Triga, with consistency and an authentic presence in the contemporary art scene, reinterprets tradition through her personal idiom. Her works, deeply poetic and imbued with the color blue—of the sky, the sea, prayer, and memory—open paths between painting and sculpture. Her canvases are transformed into endless, hybrid maps, while her ceramic forms, like ancient artifacts, come to life as autonomous organic bodies.

As noted by the curator of the exhibition, art historian Iris Kritikou, “Through her paintings and ceramic figures, Vasso Triga creates another reality with the same intensity, transforming the visible into a tangible myth and an endless journey of the mind.”

The president of the Management Body of the GSA/Historical Archive–Museum of Hydra, Dina Adamopoulou, points out: “The presence of this exhibition is another milestone in our exhibition journey this year and an act of faith in the silent power of Art. An art form such as that of Vasso Triga speaks with substance and allows the viewer to approach it as one approaches water or memory.”

The exhibition “Writings and Maps” is an encounter with the soul of painting and ceramics, a bridge between the past and the present, an invitation to listen to the unspoken through the colors, textures, and forms of Vasso Triga.
