Pool Float explores themes of madness, passion, and self-romance through vibrant compositions inspired by childhood memories, such as a fish, a bowl of lemons, or a quiet moment under an umbrella. The exhibition invites viewers on a journey of joyful introspection, celebrating cultural roots and the discovery of inner serenity. Papou draws inspiration from the vibrant flora, fauna, and cultural richness of southern Florida.
Papou, a Florida-based artist of Greek and Native American heritage, draws inspiration from the pleasures of the sun and the vibrant flora and fauna of southern Florida. Her artworks feature elements such as fruit, birds, and clothing that reflect her diverse upbringing and local environment. Central to her creative journey is "Papou" (grandpa), whose immigration from Greece to the United States in the 1950s serves as a profound muse for her artistic practice. Through vivid compositions and a playful exploration of memories, the exhibition guides viewers on a journey of primal intuition and joyful discovery—a celebration of cultural roots and personal expression brought to life on canvas.
