The cross is one of the oldest symbols of the presence of man on earth and Ms Vassiliki uses it as the basic element of her art. In Athens in 1998, they are people who deny to Ms Vassiliki her fundamental right, the use in her work of the most humanist symbol of mankind.

Symbolism, which was first initiated in painting at the second half of the 19^th century, found a particular expression in the art of Nabis (in Jewish prophets). The Nabis was a group of French artists, who, based on the philosophical tradition of mysticism, treated art as the medium through which they should transmit their position about the existence of a “reality” that is independent  of the physical substance of the individual and his ability to communicate with the outside world through his senses.
