Zakynthos:- Exhibition of Zakynthian Artist, Maria Rousea

The Inauguration of the honorary – retrospective Exhibition of the great contemporary Artist of Zakynthos, beloved by all of us Maria Rousea, took place successfully on Saturday, July 31, 2021, in the art gallery of “Alithos”, located at the Educational Center of Speech of the Parish of Vanatos in Zakynthos.

Many art lovers came in groups (to avoid overcrowding), to admire the exhibited works of the Artist and to express from the heart words of love for her. People from all walks of life, including numerous young children who are generally interested in art, but especially all enthusiastic about Rusea’s painting, which, although coming from old and pre-earthquake Zakynthos, it exudes even adolescent vigor and unbridled youth.

The honored Artist herself was not able to be present in person, due to her advanced age, but she was worthily represented by her daughter, Sissy, with her family. In a digital way, visitors could see and hear Mrs Rousea, through a video that was recorded a few days ago and provided as a feature via QR code, as well as a tour of all the works in the exhibition.

The curator of the Exhibition, Ioannis Porphyrios Kapodistrias, and his collaborators worked hard for the event to be a success.

The Exhibition will be open until August 25, 2021, but will be opened on appoinment basis, due to the aggravated epidemiological situation of Zakynthos and to avoid problems from the Pandemic.
