Salomidis Rena - Irini

Rena - Irini built tiny worlds you could hold in your hands, gluing matchsticks into swirling towers that look fragile but won’t budge. She called it “Dream world,” a 2004 painting where the matchstick shapes float like islands in a blue haze—no glue, no tricks, just patient hands and a steady eye. Tap “Dream world” next to see how she turned something as simple as matchsticks into a whole mental landscape you can almost step into.
