By her own account, Myrto Christou searches for an oasis in the desert of the empty canvas but at most she finds a mirage. She captures the stories that arise during this search for ‘something in the big nothing’ in her mood paintings, where we not only encounter a mood but also a dark edge or dash of humour. For if it all turns out to have been for nothing, in any case you could have laughed, according to Myrto.
