I was born in Athens-Greece, in 1962. I come from a family of artists, such as my maternal grandmother and my uncle. I have worked with different media such as charcoal, graphite, inks, oil and soft pastels, acrylics, oils, mixed media and clay. |
| About the Artist | |
Although I have a MFA degree, I consider myself self- taught. To learn is to experience. For better or worse, I take my own decisions. I am not on somebody else’s path. All the disappointments, frustration, mistakes and discoveries that hopefully come out from them are mine too. My teachers are the works of visual artists that I see around me (in galleries, museums, on the internet, on TV, in the movies, on cd covers, and graffiti). |

| This piece, as well as the five clay heads, was done because I wanted to get familiar with issues concerning skin texture. Any insight was to be used in the creation of the painting "Alien"(193.04 x 124.46 cm) . That is why I think of these six pieces as “3-D drawings”. |

| This is the painting that the clay pieces were done for.
The title applies to my inner self who is a stranger, an alien to me. Although I believe in UFO’s, I don’t think they are from far away planets but from the spiritual realm instead. |
