Sula Repani Figurative Paintings

Sula Repani is an artist born in Athens, Greece, in 1959, with parents originally from the island of Lesbos. She studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts from 1979 to 1984, specializing in Byzantine painting and fresco during her final two years. In 1986, Repani moved to Spain as a postgraduate scholarship recipient from the Greek state, settling in Galicia, where she has resided ever since. Her work can be found in private collections across Europe—including Greece, Spain, Belgium, and the United Kingdom—as well as in New Zealand and the United States. Additionally, she regularly exhibits in various public spaces throughout Galicia.

Repani's artwork reflects a profound connection between her Greek cultural roots and her lived experience in Galicia. The transition from the intense blue of the Aegean Sea and the ochres of the Greek islands to the lush greenery of Galicia’s landscape is a recurrent theme in her work, exploring the interaction between cultures and the convergence between East and West. Her artistic production serves as a method of personal inquiry, through which she investigates how these diverse influences shape her creativity and inner world, resulting in artwork that visually manifests this blend of cultures and experiences.
