Say it with a kiss Sculpture

It is a beautiful sensual smile or a kiss or the remembrance of a Kiss. It is 3D mosaic sculpture made with Imperial smalti from Venice ,golden leaves ,plaster and plexiglass I started experimenting and working with mosaic 45 years ago It was 1991 when the Japanese publishing the Yomiuri Shimbun organized 3 personal exhibitions of my works in Osaka and Tokyo In the catalogue published by them was written "Pelagia Angelopoulou is one of the worlds most exciting mosaicists" The Director of the Greek National Gallery Dimitrios Papastamos wrote Pelagia Angelopoulou blends mosaic and painting in an ideal expression.She takes a full advantage of her thorough knowledge of the main achievements in the history of mosaic art while making the most of her remarkable technical skill and original inspiration,introduces a new concept and gives a new dimension to the art of mosaics. The German Art historian Stefan Skowron wrote: what makes the works of Pelagia Angelopoulou modern and far superior to those of others is her relentless drive to make them sculptural...The image becomes an object which becomes credible because it is visible and belongs to reality.Thus she connects the present with history .She interweaves the two and gives them a new potential Impact. I see mosaic as a mixture of painting and sculpture and I am interested in aesthetically constructing forms and volumes, avoiding the trap of simply exploiting the charm of bright and colorful smalti, natural and semi-precious stones. Gradually I started to use other materials like found objects, Japanese paper tissues, crystals etc thus creating a kind of mixed media. My works are to be found in private and public collections in Belgium,Greece,USA,Germany,France ,Russia,Japan
