Born and raised in Athens, Greece, I had been attracted to large wall surfaces from a very young age. I developed my style through a gradual incorporation of accidental details during the creative process, while painting on the streets and on canvas. My imagery focuses on females, nature and their aesthetics: through a mix of various media, I illustrate multiple layers of emotions, which are perceived as a complex synopsis of my internal world. The girls, delicate and tender, yet engaging and provocative in all their disarming vulnerability, drips, spills, smudges and all, appear as if they are whispering something: their present, their past, an inkling of their future perhaps. All the found on this website (artwork, photography, written word) is created by me, unless otherwise stated.

‘Panagia ton Patission’ - ‘Notre Dame de Patissia”

           

Part of the production wall with Fors and Kai circa 2007 in Kerameikos area in Athens/Greece.

Patissia is a multiply disadvantaged neighbourhood at the center of the conurbation of Athens. Although this girl was painted in Kerameikos, an equally downgraded area, this name sprang into my mind, since the wordplay seemed quite fitting with her innocent look and her tight, protective embrace of the giant rat…
