"SANTORINI SIMPLICITY"
ΔΗΜΗΤΡΑ ΜΠΡΑΤΙΚΑ | ΕΚΘΕΣΗ ΦΩΤΟΓΡΑΦΙΑΣ
Το Όλον της Σαντορίνης είναι ένα Κράμα από ηφαιστιακή λάβα, επικά τοπία και έντονες αντιθέσεις.
Για να γνωρίσει το Όλον, η Δήμητρα, αγαπά να την αποσυνθέτει, να την επανασυνθέτει και να υμνεί την ευφυή απλότητά της, τόσο στα έργα των ανθρώπων, όσο και στα αρμονικά δημιουργήματα της φύσης.
ΔΗΜΗΤΡΑ ΜΠΡΑΤΙΚΑ
Κάτοικος Σαντορίνηςαπό επιλογή, μετά από μακρόχρονη ταξιδιωτική δράση στις 5 Ηπείρους, από όπου ξεκίνησε και η ενασχόλησή της με την Φωτογραφία.
Λάτρης των Κυκλάδων, λάτρης κάθε τι ωραίου στα πιο μικρά απλά και ταπεινά.
