Artist Statement

I have spent many summers in the serene environment of Northern Greece.

I observe and document its natural beauty, especially its seascapes and unique sculptural rock formations.

These experiences inspire my artistic journey and lead me to explore the ways in which art and nature co-exist.

With my work, I look to reimagine what I have observed in my surroundings.

This is why in my latest work, it was important to me to use tones and colours found in nature, ranging from the vibrant and floral to the more subdued and earthy.

In my art, I am drawn to several mediums (painting, printing, stitching and sculpting) while incorporating the use of acrylic paint, ink, wax and aluminium. This range of mediums reflects the diversity of my natural surroundings.

I am drawn to the imperfections of natural forms, which I see as their soul. I want to mirror and celebrate the inevitable natural decay in each unique piece of work. The motifs of transformation and decay are omnipresent in my compositions.

I am always aware that “each rock carries the scars of time” within, so I seek to trace and express its form and everything that profoundly resonates with me.
