Students and graduates of the Ionian University present a tribute exhibition in memory of Iro Feidia, AVARTS graduate. The aim is to display her illustrative and digital artwork, but also to portray her as an individual, fellow student and friend. Despite her time being short, the plurality and diversity of her work is remarkable. Her need to create and tell stories was definitive throughout her entire artistic career. Through her characteristic and distinctly recognizable style, the intense textures and the deliberate use of contrasting colors, Iro focused on the narrative dimension of art. The exhibition consists of artworks of a variety of materials, artistic means, techniques and styles, incorporating interactive, immersive media open to the audience, mimicking Iro’s exploratory process, with the addition of a photographic tribute to her and her life.
