Visual artist from Greece (b.1983) She was born in Athens and grew up in Megara (a small town 40 km away from Athens). In 2001 she finished high-school and in 2002 she moved to Thessaloniki where she studied sculpture and drawing at the department of Fine and Applied Arts of the school of Fine Arts at the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, at the studio of Fotis Chantziioannidis. Along with the previously mentioned subjects her studies included courses in photography, painting, etching and printing techniques, puppet-making, history of Art, Architecture and aesthetic philosophy, technical drawing and art-education. In 2005 she included soft materials in her sculpture, putting in use sewing, knitting and weaving -things she learnt how to do as a child from her mother- and in 2007 she presented a collection of soft sculptures, sketchbooks and etchings as a final project. She graduated in June 2007, and got an honorary scholarship for post-graduate studies abroad. In 2008 she was accepted at Wimbledon College of Art, University of the Arts, London, Uk. There, she studied sculpture and installation design. She also developed an interest in performative arts by participating in projects of fellow students of the sculpture and the visual language of performance pathways. In 2010 she got a master's degree in sculpture and returned to Athens, Greece, where is currently based. Following are the lists of exhibitions, collaborations and art-unrelated work experience.
