About this work
Overview
“Είναι ευχάριστο να οδηγείς τη νύχτα, αρκεί να έχεις πολλά φώτα” is an artwork executed by Greek creator Gesthimani Seferopoulou in 1991. The piece belongs to the collection of the Museum of Ethnography, where it is displayed as part of the institution’s contemporary holdings.
Technique & Style
The composition bursts with vivid hues, dominant blues, reds and yellows set against a deep, almost black ground. Large circular forms, star‑like points and sinuous lines intersect, sometimes suggesting faces, architectural fragments or floral motifs. A dense field of tiny dots and strokes creates texture, giving the work a bustling, dream‑like atmosphere where no single element dominates.
History & Provenance
Created in 1991, the work entered the Museum of Ethnography’s collection shortly after its completion, becoming part of the museum’s effort to document contemporary Greek visual practices. It remains in the museum’s permanent holdings, accessible to the public as an example of early‑1990s abstract production in Greece.
