Appreciation | Jo Dounis Art & Design

"One of the things I love about Jo is that she is quite fearless, and this comes across clearly in her art. She is eager

to experiment and very courageously steps out of her comfort zone."

"Her ability to transform ordinary pieces of wood into extraordinary works of art is a testament to her creative vision and mastery of diverse media."

- Melanie Erixon, June 2024

"...each painting is composed of layers of colours that are allowed to subtly show through while at other times, a

colourful palette is made more manifest. Dounis’s ability to portray light - even in the darker compositions - is unique."

"I invite you to have a close look at these compositions and appreciate the texture and colour, of which there is often much

more than the eye can initially see. Layers of pigment compose the scenes and expertly capture light that is another

essential component of this new collection of paintings by Jo Dounis."

"Jo is an admirable, self-made person who has come up with a very individual aesthetic."

- Dr. Charlene Vella, November 2023

"...an array of artworks - these sublime dreamy places, one next to the other, one more captivating than the other."

"...transports me to somewhere that I have never been and that I am not sure I ever want to leave."
