I call my Art, fantasy realism ! My artistic practice explores the sacred bond between humanity and the natural world. Rooted in my upbringing in Corfu and shaped through my training in New York, my work focuses on endangered species, ecological fragility, and the silent narratives of beings who cannot speak for themselves. Through symbolic realism, layered textures, and mythological references, I aim to create visual portals that raise awareness, evoke empathy, and awareness.
Where do you find inspiration?In my dreams, in peoples questions about life, in Greek mythology etc In future visions for a civilization with sanity, peace and more creation.
What would you do with $25,000?I love to have my own ideal studio in order to continue to teach art and create more! I paint every day ! His is my passion and way of living 🎨
