An artist who has recently seduced the Chinese culture and spirit as well as many Europeans critics of art by numbering public exhibitions all around the five continents.
Her exceptional harmony in shapes, colours, concepts, schemes and presentations let her be easily on top of the most preferential artists participating in numerous personal exhibitions gaining more and more popularity.
The last one was on the occasion of an international medical conference in Athens, Greece where the Chinese professor, Mr. Ζhou, Ping-Hong, MD, Prof. - Endoscopy Center Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China - met Nelly Rapti’s work of arts and expressed his desire to create his own portrait in her special technique that appears to be so close to fine arts of Chinese aesthetics. Professor Zhou Ping-Hong pointed out that the unique drawing skills of Nelly Rapti make her work of arts to stand out and her sensitiveness excites him. The same interest was also expressed by Mr. Zhen Su - Senior Vice President, Erbe China – who asked exclusively from the artist to create his portrait as well.
Nelly Rapti was hosted by the best-known ChineseTV channel CCTV in an exclusive interview on her work and artistic talent concerning her latest exhibition and particular style - taken place in the luxurius downtown Hilton Athens Hotel which is also her gracious sponsor in each of her artistic venues annually. She explained that her painting style is highly characterized by love, balance and her innermost impulses.
The artist points out that she will never stop promoting her birthplace, Greece, directly influenced by its beauty, civilisation and mentality in a place where democracy, arts and science coexist and complete the perfect scenery of her inspiration. This is exactly the subject of her latest art exhibition: a collection of dreaming Greek landscapes which depict the typical authentic Hellenic nation.
Lithographies were also one of her most distinguished exhibitions that attracted many positive comments and was the sequel of one of her first art collections, started back in 1998. Nelly Rapti never stops mentioning that the role of art nowadays consists a type of “cure” towards the difficulties and adversities during the period of a both financial and ethical crisis. Soul is the best colour in her palette, concludes Mrs. Rapti!
