Melina Fakitsa Mosland — Spirit

Microcommission: 'Carte Postale' by Melina Fakitsa Mosland (Copy)

As Athens is a city of contradictions Melina Fakitsa Mosland chose a colour palette of blues and yellows with the occasional red for her commissioned work. The palette was selected in order to give Carte Postale a romanticised feeling which the viewer knows to be ironic given the contrast with the actual content of the work.
