Kallirroi Ioannidou works with drawing as well as with painting and sculpture. Of overarching relevance is the process: characteristic for her works is how they develop over a long period of time. In some cases, Ioannidou works on one pieces for months, applying new layers again and again. In this way, a whole period of time becomes visible in the finished work, which touches on a variety of themes. In the creation of her sculptures, the discovery of form plays a significant role - not only for the viewer, but also for the artist herself. She understands shapes of her sculptures as basic outlines of her painting. Due to the associative vocabulary, a creative ambivalence arises that sometimes complicates the interpretation of her works. However, Ioannidou does not specify any level of interpretation and leaves free space for interpretations.
