Marine-themed paintings of the Greek artist Chryssa Dellaporta at Hydra
The Greek artist Chryssa Dellaporta whom we have the honour to have featured in earlier reports in Allaboutshipping will exhibit her work at the Municipal Art Gallery “Melina Merkouri” at the beautiful and historic Port of Hydra, from 9 to 15 July 2018.
“J- class (Blue Sail)”Oil on canvas”, 150cm X 100cm
Chryssa creates paintings based around maritime themes including classical sailing ships, traditional boats, tug boats and ports, showing not only a sensitivity and great love for the sea, but for all things associated with it. She weaves maritime stories and reveals the ‘character’ of each yacht in her work using the traditional technique of sea-painting and the honesty of realism, where the style itself can be called yacht portraiture.
