„Femme Fatale“ –
Is the title which Ira Tsantekidou gives her works.
„Art Déco“ has a refreshing renaissance in her paintings through fine and secure brushstrokes in bold colours. Her effigies of females appear to be erotic and elegant at the same time.
Ira Tsantekidous works are distinct by extraordinary skills in drawing and a very unusual painting technique, which is spiced with soft irony as well as a keen love for details.
They are expressive, unique and decorative as well, which explains the growing interest of gallerists and art collectors in her work.
