I was born and raised in Athens. In 1993, I completed my studies in Greek Philology at the University of Athens (EKPA) and worked for many years as a text editor. I hold an Integrated Master’s degree in Painting from the Athens School of Fine Arts, under the supervision of Professor George Kazazis. My passion for photography and video developed through my studies at ASFA’s Photography Lab with Professor Panos Kokkinias, and the Video Art Lab with Professor Vicky Betsou. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Fine Arts (MAFA) at AKTO College, on a full scholarship, in collaboration with Middlesex University, under the guidance of visual artist Katerina Apostolidou. I have participated in numerous group exhibitions and received awards at both Greek and international photography festivals. My work—along with interviews—has been featured in major national and international art magazines, photography platforms, and exhibited in galleries and prominent art venues.
I am a visual artist working primarily with photography, video, and drawing. My practice is rooted in observation, emotion, and the search for meaning within the everyday. Photography, for me, is an act of wandering—of staying alert and attuned to the subtle magic that light and form can reveal. As the light shifts, so too do shapes and meanings; the familiar world becomes fragmented and reassembled into a “personal parallelogram” of perception—a quiet, deliberate act of staging. From there, I engage deeply with one subject at a time, exploring the full expressive potential of the medium through experimentation with angles, human connection, and an approach grounded in sincerity and respect. Drawing opens a different kind of space. Through graphite, charcoal, and line, I access inner sanctuaries of the self—psychological landscapes that allow for introspection, revelation, and gradual healing. This space becomes a personal architecture where trauma is not only expressed, but transformed. Much of my work centers around the idea of threat—violence understood not just as physical harm, but as shifts in identity, disorder, emotional dissolution, or the embodiment of pain. These themes are explored in tension with emptiness and even death. I view nature as both refuge and enigma—a place of organic decay and regeneration, a theater for secret rituals and chthonic forces. I am drawn to its cracks, shadows, and silences. I am also deeply engaged with the darker chapters of human history, especially those that have resulted in collective trauma. I believe that careful, honest research into these periods is essential if we are to avoid repeating past mistakes. My work is both an investigation and an invitation—a way of confronting the past, engaging with the present, and imagining a more conscious, compassionate future.
