About the Artist

The eclecticism of her cultural and experience course let her meet with other worlds through their literature (since the artist knows perfectly both English and German, she can directly confront herself with central European life and literature), their art, and dance (she attended courses of traditional Greek dances). And it is in this environment that she develops her ideas of composition:
She won the Premio della Provincia di Caserta 2003 – Concorso Nazionale di Ceramica [Price of the Province of Caserta 2003- National Ceramic Contest] with a work named “Παπια” [Gosling], inspired to the famous traditional Greek song O MENOUSIS.
