My practice is rooted in mythology — not as something distant or symbolic, but as something lived. I am drawn to myth because it carries emotional truths that resist time: grief, desire, violence, protection, transformation. These stories were never meant to remain fixed. They evolve as we do, reflecting inner states that continue to surface across generations.
Through painting, I revisit figures that have been misread or silenced, not to retell their stories, but to sit with them. I am interested in the threshold where vulnerability becomes power, where the monstrous reveals itself as misunderstood, and where transformation is inevitable. Myth, for me, functions as a psychological terrain — a mirror through which contemporary emotional and spiritual realities can be examined.
I work primarily with oil paint, building surfaces slowly through gesture and layering. Into the painted surface, I integrate hand-embroidered peace silk, gold detailing, and gemstones. These materials are not ornamental additions but symbolic anchors: silk carries softness and ritual, while gemstones act as amulets, holding energy, protection, and intention. A recurring element in my work is the illusion of a painted textile frame, which surrounds the image like a relic or offering, creating a passage between the physical and the unseen.
Movement is essential to my process. My brushstrokes are never static; they curve, pulse, and repeat, echoing breath, blood, and spiritual flow. Each painting is constructed as a site of becoming rather than resolution — an object that invites slow looking and quiet confrontation.
I was born in Athens, where mythology, religious iconography, and craft are embedded in daily life. These early influences shaped my understanding of images not as representations, but as vessels of memory and meaning. Today, my practice exists between heritage and reinvention. I seek to preserve the spiritual weight of traditional forms while allowing them to shift and respond to the present, creating works that feel intimate, protective, and quietly confrontational.
我的创作根植于神话——并非将其视为遥远或象征性的存在，而是将其视为鲜活的体验。我被神话所吸引，因为它承载着超越时间的真谛：悲伤、欲望、暴力、守护、蜕变。这些故事并非一成不变，它们随着我们自身的变化而演变，反映着代代相传的内在状态。
通过绘画，我重新审视那些被误解或被噤声的人物，并非为了复述他们的故事，而是为了与他们共处。我感兴趣的是脆弱转化为力量的临界点，是怪诞显露其被误解之处，也是蜕变不可避免的时刻。对我而言，神话如同一个心理场域——一面镜子，透过它，我们可以审视当代的情感和精神现实。我主要使用油画颜料，通过笔触和层层叠加，缓慢地构建画面。在画作表面，我融入手工刺绣的和平丝线、金箔装饰和宝石。这些材料并非装饰性的点缀，而是象征性的锚点：丝绸带来柔和与仪式感，而宝石则如同护身符，蕴含能量、守护和意念。我作品中反复出现的元素是，在画面上营造出一种纺织框架的错觉，它如同圣物或祭品般环绕着图像，在物质世界与精神世界之间架起一座桥梁。动感是我创作过程中不可或缺的一部分。我的笔触从不静止；它们弯曲、律动、重复，如同呼吸、血液和精神的流动。每一幅画作都旨在成为一种生成而非最终定格的场所——一件邀请观者放慢脚步、静静审视的作品。
我出生于雅典，那里的神话、宗教图像和工艺深深融入日常生活。这些早期的影响塑造了我对图像的理解，我视其为承载记忆和意义的容器，而非简单的再现。如今，我的创作游走于传承与革新之间。我力求保留传统形式的精神内涵，同时又允许它们随着当下而变化和回应，从而创作出既亲切、充满保护感，又蕴含着静谧对抗的作品。
