Storytelling is the essence of human existence, since the most ancient times. I try to tell stories too. I find great inspiration in litterature, folk tales, mythology of all kinds and of all countries. The surreal element is important to me. Animals and plants obtain a personality; they become supreme, while humans are minor. Sometimes they create hybrid creatures, coexisting in fairy tale landscapes. The main characters are women, whose perplexed and many-roled nature evokes so many symbolisms and associations. My stories are about existence, human vanity, our relationship with nature, man’s multiple roles and masks, but also about beauty, the beauty in the creation of new life, the beauty within us. Some themes derive from history, and mostly from history about colonization, stories of violence. You will not see violence in my work, as the goal is elevation, a sense of atonement. Bio Painting since I can remember myself, I chose as first studies Architecture in National Technical University of Athens. The art world kept summoning me , so I did Painting in Athens School of Fine Arts, as a second master's degree, and a year of Sculpture at ARBA-ESA in Brussels in between of the two . The magical world of theater also was an inspiration , leading me to follow a scenography course ar LSA . My works have travelled in many countries of the world as part of group shows , and many of them are part of private collections in national and international level. Some of them are : Kirki, The Party, Mother Earth and Brigitte Bardot, My love, Jinn. Trinity, La potion magique, The Love doctors, Je revais de joies infiies de voluptes qui sont du ciel, Puppets of time, The empty crinoline, Vanity Fare, The mistresses, The crab the candy and the deer, and many others. |
