I am a mixed media artist from Greece and I live and work in Southsea, UK.
There are two things that I always enjoyed.
I always loved stories! Since I was little I would be fascinated with storytelling, from reading a book to be told mythological or religious tales in school. All these images will form in my head and they would become my own personal home made movies.
I have a continual habit in collecting objects, books and images. Anything of any interest will come home with me.
It was only natural after years of searching for a suitable medium and inspiration, to put the two together and create my own version of those stories as well as my own. I create intricate pieces based on mythology, poetry, the materials I have in my hands at that time or my personal experiences and thoughts. I use collage and assemblage techniques to compose my pieces with the narrative an integral part of the work weaved throughout. All materials used are found, thrown out or discarded. Reusing these pieces gives them a new life and purpose.
