Original artwork description:

I am like a quirky mute narrator who uses a white canvas, brushes and paint that become my means of communication with the outside world.
My involvement in the stories I paint is sometimes as if I participate as the main hero or as a protagonist or as an eyewitness and at other times I give the leading role generously elsewhere, holding only the role of an observer!
I place the human form in huge, colorful semi-abstract landscapes. Time does not seem to concern me. In some works, its forms are depicted as an outline filled with various colors and shapes - as if the human form is a 'container' - of emotions, thoughts, memories.
In many works, there is a more realistic representation of the human form. Here the heroes live and breathe in a dreamy atmosphere. The markings can be associated with romantic symbolism.
Observing my works it is obvious that people are in a constant motion most of the time. They come from somewhere or they go somewhere. Even when they are stable you understand that what they have in mind is the next step. The Present, the Past and the Future are imprinted in their walking, in their course.
The human condition - the individual sense of her existence - is a central theme in my work, and stems from my own experience as a Greek of the Diaspora, between the two cultures.
