Saranti’s multi-sensory drawings are filled with colorful patters, natural elements like fire and water and constellations of designed costumes. Paying closer attention to the drawings, we can discern recurring symbolic motifs such as the medusa, ribbons made by cockroachs and symbolizing fear, underwater creatures and rainbows inspired by mythology.
Her new works are populated by animal-human hybrids and as a whole seem to invite us to return to harmonious ways of integrating human activity with the natural environment. The inhabitants of Saranti’s drawings are mystic representations of anthropomorphic creatures, archetypes that reveal a deep insight into human nature – the Homosyreni as the artist calls them- which is also the title of this exhibition.
