Title: The Blue of Hydra
Artist: Alranshen

Title: The Same Blue
Artist: NARI (나리)
Bio: Korea and Greece never met, yet they wrote their whiteness in the same blue. The cobalt that Joseon painters brushed onto white porcelain and the blue of the Aegean — on shutters, on hulls, on the water — are two lives of one pigment. Experienced in augmented reality on Hydra, the cobalt flows out of the frame toward the real Aegean behind the viewer — and the island completes the work.

Artist: Mahsan

Title: we remember our sea moment
Artist: ake
Bio: We remember the sea not as stillness, but as movement: those majestic waves, like frames from a movie we’ve all experienced but can’t quite place. The salt, the wind, and the silence before the wave breaks—a moment that repeats itself endlessly in the gallery of our mind.

Title: The Deep Muse
Artist: Usha M Reddy

Artist: Johanna Nyqvist
Bio: Everything flows. Nothing stays. And sometimes, peace begins when we stop trying to hold back the current.

Nothing remains exactly as it is; everything flows, transforms, and eventually passes.

Title: Hydor's Awakening
Artist: Silky Way Art

Title: The Bride of the Pomegranates
Artist: Avideh Salmanpour
Bio: In Greek mythology, Persephone, daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, was a young woman who one day disappeared among the flowers and descended into the Underworld. Hades, lord of the dead, had taken her away, and in her grief, Demeter allowed the earth to wither. Before her return, Persephone ate several seeds of a pomegranate—the fruit that bound her forever to both worlds. She was no longer simply the maiden of spring; she had become a woman who had known darkness and returned from it

Title: A Quiet Shade of Hydra
Artist: Beanie Blossom
Bio: For this piece I wanted to show Hydra through the blue that seems to be everywhere there — in the water, the sky and the shadows. I kept the scene soft and quiet, almost like a moment you just stop and take in. The goat gives the image that small everyday detail that makes the place feel real rather than just beautiful.

Title: A Memory in Blue
Artist: Beanie Blossom
Bio: For this piece I used the strong blue and white contrast to focus on the feeling of Hydra rather than showing it in a very literal way. The church, the flowers and the deep blue give it that Greek atmosphere, but at the same time it feels a bit like an old memory or a moment from the past. I liked the idea of using blue not just as the colour of the image, but as the mood of it too.

Title: "An Odyssey in Hyder Blue"
Artist: Jinous
Bio: Beneath the full moon's quiet eye, a woman set out across the wine-dark sea. She carried no name, only flowers in her hair — mementos of a shore she could not forget. The waves rose and fell like the breath of an old god, and two white birds kept watch above her mast, guiding her course. She did not sail to find a place. She sailed to find herself. The blue stretched endlessly, deep as memory, and in its depths the sea seemed to whisper her name — the one she had lost,...
