About

As an experienced street artist and a graduate in graphic arts, I've desided to share my art and offer my services to people, as well as share creation by making custom orders on: Unique relief metallic art - paintings on wood -and painting on fabrics (including portraits). I've also been a Henna artist for 20 years and recently I've been making some jewelry (also with polymeric plaster magnetic ideas like earings, animal collars, fridge magnets). Hairwraps and hairbeads as well and I also provide my services for murals and handmade labels.Looking forward in meeting you!

I've always loved painting on my free time! Young enough, I could copy anything around me on just about any surface using various materials and in any scale I chose, so I started making murals professionaly, as well as handmade labels. When I was 17 years old a famous company descovered my talent and they hired me as a henna-body art lead artist. Soon after I began drawing professionally on fabrics ( shoes, t-shirts, towels, pillows, hats ) with special textile colours, since my dad owned a fabric business.For a better livelihood, I chose to study graphic arts in Greece. In my 6 years of studying we were practicing on drawing still life, statues, portraits, nudes, in color & black/white, also photography and animation alongside the computer graphic programs. During that time I was becoming a seasonal street artist on various Greek islands doing henna, painting on fabrics and hairwraps. After graduation, there was still something more l wanted to experiment on. I wanted to create something modern and strong, with my own technique.After 5 years of trying, I successfully combined a relief technique, made of plaster, melted aluminum & bronze leaves and drawing on wood. I call it relief metallic art and I like to express human motion & emotion via simple illustrated designs. I’ve started participating on art exhibitions and I am looking forward in exploring the art world!
Recently I am also doing some jewelry.
Thank you for appreciating my art and I am looking forward in meeting you personally at one of my exhibitions!
