Anastasia is an artist and architect. Her work has been influenced by the cities she has lived in; Athens, Edinburgh, Eindhoven, Venice, Portsmouth, London, as well as by her architectural background. She has studied art with Professors Sotiris Sorongas, Vasso Kiriaki, Vana Xenou, Dimitris Sevastakis, in the School of Architecture of the NTUA.

'The trace is appearance of a nearness, however far removed the thing that left it behind may be. The aura is appearance of a distance, however close the thing that calls it forth. In the trace, we gain possession of the thing; in the aura, it takes possession of us.’
Walter Benjamin
_________________________________________
My drawings attempt to explore the notion of nearness and immersion in a city/ a place/ an atmosphere, and at the same time the notion of distancing. My attempt is to create a very specific and precise atmosphere - as if one was experiencing a very specific and familiar place, and - at the same time - reveal nothing of the actual physicality of that place.
