𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎
In the exhibition Formations, Konstantina Zompola presents a series of paintings that emerge from the artist's ongoing engagement with landscape, walking, and the lived experience of space. Through processes of observation, wandering, and introspection, the artist explores the formations that appear in nature and the images that remain in memory as traces of experiences, encounters, and transformations.

Rather than depicting a specific location, the works occupy a space between the real and the imaginary, landscapes move beyond representation and become a vessel for sensation, memory, and personal narrative. The images that appear in the paintings arise from places that have left a lasting impression, from people, animals, journeys, and environments that gradually blur and merge into new forms.

Human, animal, and imagined figures often appear as autonomous presences, creating multiple layers of interpretation. They do not function as straightforward representations but as traces of experiences, movements, and encounters with the environment and the artist. Walking becomes a way of engaging with the landscape, allowing forms, memories and impressions to gradually emerge through the act of painting.

Within the paintings, viewers encounter old huts, meadows, reed beds, formations in water, human and animal figures that emerge and dissolve across the painted surface.
These elements do not tell a single story, nor do they belong entirely to reality or fiction.
Instead, they coexist in an in-between space where forms remain in a constant state of transformation, inviting viewers to question whether they are witnessing a memory, a dream, or a lived experience. A significant part of the artist’s research is rooted in the Prespa region of Northern

Greece, a place marked by a strong geographical and historical identity, where the landscape operates as a palimpsest of overlapping narratives and hidden traces. At the same time, the landscapes of the northern Netherlands have become equally influential through their continuous dialogue between land and water, their open horizons, and the ever-changing formations shaped by light, weather, and movement.

Topography is approached not simply as the observation of landscape but as a deeper engagement with places, it's histories, and the multiple layers that compose it.

Through expressive painterly gestures and a vibrant colour palette, the works acquire a dreamlike and often indeterminate atmosphere. Reeds, trees, water, and organic forms emerge like shifting memories. The formations that arise are neither fixed nor descriptive. They are transformations of the landscape and, at the same time, inner landscapes that take shape on the canvas.

Formations is a search for the indeterminate. It explores the relationship between body and space, memory and experience, presence and absence. Above all, it reflects a personal search through the landscape, an attempt to understand how the places we move through shape the ways we see, remember, and perceive ourselves. Through this process, landscape is not simply observed but experienced as an ongoing state of transformation.

Konstantina Zompola is a Greek visual artist currently based in Groningen, the Netherlands. She holds a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Ioannina, Greece, and an MA in Fine Arts Florina, Greece, focusing on artistic approaches to natural and urban landscapes. It was during her postgraduate studies that she began developing her research on landscape and painting, themes that remain central to her artistic practice.

Her artistic practice centres on painting and on the exploration of landscape as a field of experience, memory, and discovery. Through walking, observation, and an embodied relationship with place, she investig*tes not only the characteristics of a landscape but also the personal journeys, emotions, and inner narratives that emerge through it.

Landscape becomes a point of departure for exploring both the external world and the self. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Greece and abroad, and in 2025 presented her first solo exhibition in Athens.

𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱:
Prophesy Playground is an alternative-folk project founded by guitarist singer-songwriter and composer Or Izekson. Combining gentle melancholic songs and instrumental themes composed on various tuning alterations, Prophecy Playground’s artistic vision presents a semi forgotten- semi newly imagined sound. With a subtle blend of Folk, Blues and Classical music influences, Prophecy Playground's creations deliver a Neo-Folk climax: elaborative, yet focuses on a strictly acoustic production, which emphasizes skillful acoustic guitar compositions together with enigmatic string-section arrangements. What eventually surfaces is a kind of sound which combines the melancholic with mysterious, and mellow with dramatic - thus offering a unique take on contemporary Folk music.

Prophecy Playground speelt in diverse formaties. Deze vrijdag speelt Prophecy Playground als éénmansband.
