Surviving death five years ago ignited a vision I now strive to capture through painting, sculpture, and writing—a fierce celebration of life where fire confronts darkness and breath reclaims existence. This experience shaped my path, compelling me to create sanctuaries within fractured realities where memory, emotion, and echo converge. My work is a ritual of survival and resurrection—a reanimation of silenced stories, especially those of women whose narratives demand space and voice. Working through surrealism, mysticism, the occult, existentialism, and posthuman gestationality, I explore how the natural environment persists, adapts, and extends itself into human communities and bodies, and how we carry the Divine within us as an amulet. I’m deeply committed to community inclusion and research, weaving voices and presences into the heart of my practice. My process is dialogical—each piece emerges through listening, gathering, and exchange. My sculptures are interactive—meant to be touched, explored, experienced—and become living objects transformed by the hands and movements of others. Lately, sculpture and writing have become as central to me as painting. My paintings are driven by story—some from my own life, others channeled through literature, poetry, and community memory. These works are symbolic and wild, often merging the occult and the mythic with the tangible and emotional. My stories, rooted in childhood and reimagined through a surrealist lens, form the foundation of my first book. Across media, I seek to honor the extraordinary in the ordinary, crafting surrealistic sanctuaries where people—especially women—can find space to yell, to breathe, to live.

I am a feminist artist born in Athens, dedicated to exploring resilience, transformation, posthuman extensions and the voices of women through my art. At 20, I moved to Spain, where I lived studied and worked for more than a decade. I hold a BA from the Seville School of Arts, an MFA from the University of Seville, and a MEd in Montessori Education and Adolescent Psychology from the University of Cuyo. For the past 5 years I work between France and Belgium. Over the past 16 years, my work has been exhibited internationally, and I’ve led workshops and seminars focused on art as a metalanguage for sublimation and transformation. Through my practice, I fuse activism with artistic expression, inviting viewers into spaces where stories come alive. My art forms a bridge between feminist themes and everyday surrealism, and I actively teach the history of feminism in arts and literature while mentoring with Women on Top. Currently, I am preparing a collection of surrealistic short stories, alongside new paintings and sculptures inspired by my latest research at the Centre Pompadour. Through each piece, I hope to evoke reflection, resilience, and a sense of shared journey. For me, art is a sanctuary—where the personal becomes universal and transformation is not only possible but inevitable.
