“Let it bleed“, is a series of life-size sculptures (of young women and young girls), as well as a
series of fragments, such as heads or hands by Greek artist Vally Nomidou. Paper is her sole material. The antithetical elements of Nomidou’s work are beauty and the repulsive. Sorrow and pain are tempered by additional materials, such as transparent fabrics, precious stones, paper lace and ribbons. Moreover, the cheap exists side by side with the precious, the vulnerable with the robust, the authentic with the eccentric, realism with flights of fantasy and psychological repercussions. At the same time, extreme realism, combined with hints of the absurd, open up her inquiry.
