MINI BIO - ELLIE SASS

Ellie Sass lives and works in Greece. She speaks Greek, French and English. She graduated from the Sorbonne Univercity (French Literature) and she studied theatre, fine arts and photography in Athens. She focuses on portrait, theatre, street and nature photography and works on narrative and experimental photography. She creates black and white or noir aesthetics in experime

ntal photography, with harsh contrasts of shadows and light, and often a tendency towards comic aesthetic and abstract minimalism. Since 2022 her work in experimental photography has been recognized by many distinct international galleries. As a visual artist Ellie Sass is interested in portraiture and in hagiography but also in photo collages, in expressionist paintings and in mixed media artworks. She has participated in various photography and visual art exhibitions. She has distinguished herself in many competitions and her work has been exhibited in Europe. Ellie Sass has been working on various projects at this moment. Her main axis is spirituality, experimental art and expressionism. She has always felt that art and spirituality are connected. Her faith in Jesus Christ (Orthodoxy) gives her motivation to create artistically and to fulfil her purpose in life.

_____________________

"The intention of my personal project 'RABBITHOLE: Behind the Scenes' is to highlight the backstage life of actors in a country where being an actor or any kind of artist is a difficult task and where basic rights have to be fought for due to the lack of money and lack of meritocracy. To survive in Greece, artists typically work multiple jobs, and working conditions are often extremely challenging.
Fortunately, at Rabbithole theatre, actors are treated exceptionally by the owners George Simon and Tonia Ralli , the Nostalghia Theatre Company.

The theatre play '1975' is a black comedy which I personally love very much, as through its darkness I found a light within myself. In 1975, in an underground bar in Athens, artists and clients find their own grounding through their mistakes and deceptions.

I create black and white aesthetics in experimental photography, with harsh contrasts of shadows and light, and a tendency towards noir and abstract minimalism".

I am grateful to the entire team and especially to the Nostalghia Theater Co.
