On a quiet lane in Plaka, Orlik Gallery has long shown contemporary paintings rooted in classical themes. For one evening this June, the gallery opens for a special showing.
On the walls: new and signature work from Inna Orlik, and the olive-tree paintings of Elidon, the hyperrealist whose canvases have lived here for years. In the room with them: jewellery by Dimos, handcrafted in this same neighbourhood since 1968.
Come early. Stay late.
Hear the stories behind the pieces.
The jeweller
Dimos Jewellery
Wearable history, handcrafted since 1968.
For over half a century, the Dimos workshop has drawn from Greek antiquity — Byzantine, Neoclassical, Minoan — to make pieces meant to be lived in, not stored. New work and signature collections will be on display at the gallery through the evening.

The host
Inna Orlik
Painter of imagined worlds.
Born in Georgia in 1963 and settled in Greece since 1991, Inna Orlik works in acrylic and gold leaf, layering surfaces that move between figuration and myth — mythology, human figures, animals, landscapes, still life. Her paintings are held in private collections across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, and they line the walls of the gallery that bears her name.
“A world where myth transforms reality into something poetic and luminous.” — Manos Stefanidis, art historian

The guest painter
Elidon
Hyperrealist olive trees.
A single red flower at the base of each.
Born in Albania, settled in Greece, Elidon paints olive trees the way one might paint a portrait — weathered bark, silvered leaves, the long patience of growth. Each canvas carries a single red flower at the base: the artist's signature, and the only colour in the room that wasn't put there by time.
“The passage of time, the wisdom that comes with age, the enduring strength found in life's challenges.” — Elidon, on the olive tree

The guest musician
Tasos Sarioglou
Piano and saxophone, between light and dark.
Greek pianist and saxophonist, devoted to music since he was five. He trained in Classical Piano at the State Conservatory of Thessaloniki and in jazz and improvisation at the Ionian University. His performances move between cinematic emotion and improvisational freedom — and he draws directly from Inna Orlik's paintings, treating each set as a new canvas where sound becomes colour.
“For me, music has colours — sometimes bright, sometimes dark — and every performance is a new canvas where those colours come alive.” — Tasos Sarioglou
