Emmanuelle and Aliki are two sisters who have cultivated a shared sense of beauty for over a decade. Emmanuelle is a classically trained oil painter, Aliki, a physicist.
They believe that art and science are moved by the same spirit of enquiry and discovery, and that both seek the same Truth through different lenses, each enriching the other. Their work is grounded in a reverence for the natural world, and in the belief that the tools and frameworks we build should be guided by a sensitivity to it - method should serve nature, not the reverse.
Emmanuelle Capatos (b. 2000) trained at The Glasgow Academy of Fine Art where she additionally worked and taught there as assistant teacher, studio manager, and finally Anatomy Instructor. Her focus for the next years of exploration is to further develop a painting philosophy that combines a deep sensitivity to human nature, and the symbolic language and narrative that has been with us since the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, Mesopotamia.
Aliki (b. 1997) is a quantum physicist currently pursuing a PhD at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. For her, storytelling and exploration are among the deepest human pursuits, whether through art, music, or climbing the highest mountains. She is as drawn to the ways certain stories, themes, and symbols seem to recur across centuries as the timeless elegance of a mathematical proof.
Philospohy
They held the belief that in these ancient stories, there lay a beauty that was relevant to their century’s struggles, and forged new ways for current audiences to connect to them.
