“I studied the visual language, through painting, printmaking but also through photography, scenography, bookbinding, mosaic, graphic arts, history of art, garden architecture and aesthetic theories. The transformation and revelation that takes place through the arts and the approach of the world of the entity and the phenomenon, fascinate me, and connect me with life. I have taken part in more than 20 art shows all over the world and 5 solo exhibitions. I am a member of the Artistic Chamber of Greece and the Greek Printmakers Association.
