Articles - Sofia Boni
Ο άνθρωπος και η φύση είναι αντικείμενα προς μελέτη. Το σημαντικότερο όμως σημείο προς εξερεύνηση είναι και ήταν η άυλη φύση τους, μιας και αυτή είναι το μόνο που δεν παρατηρείται με τα μάτια. Μετά από διάφορα πειράματα αντικειμενικής και προσωπικής "παρατήρησης" αυτής της κατάστασης, ο χρόνος περιέγραψε στα τελαρα μου πολλές καταστάσεις - συναισθήματα, που πήραν μορφή εικόνας στο ίδιο πρόσωπο - φιγούρα ή τοπίο ταυτόχρονα. Απόσπασμα απο Σ. Μπόνη
Man and nature are objects to study. The most important point is and was to explore their intangible nature, since this is all that is not seen with the eyes. After several objective and personal experimental "observations" of this situation, the time described in my canvases many situations - emotions, which took the form image on the same person - figure or landscape simultaneously.
