Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This painting is done with acrylics, ink, charcoal and colored pencil on professional quality cotton canvas. It depicts of a woman body, seen from the back. The technique I used here is by creating the inside of the body first and then create the outline of the figure. This technique helps the mind not to thing within the boundaries of the form. The back is our venerable side. It is the part of the body that we can't see ourselves. When slaves where punished they were wiped on their backs. This side gathers our scars, visible and invisible.

Germany
I am a Greek architect and artist, based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. I have studied Architecture in the UK and I am an active professional architect. I have been painting for more than twenty years, however, I have been publicly active only the past few years. In 2019 I have collaborated with mborw, a greek t-shirt company based in Frankfurt am Main, creating a limited edition t-shirt for the International day against women abuse. In 2021 I had my very first public appearance in Galerie Textor 74, Frankfurt am Main. From Jan 2022 a selection of my work is represented by Galerie Brücke 54, Frankfurt am Main. My art is about an ongoing search of my role in this reality, on this planet, in this society. It is about my feminine aspect against a dominant Patriarchal Society. Through my work I explore subjects like feminism, gender boundaries, abuse, sexism, "sex-dollism" etc.. I draw inspiration from the Greek Mythology and Homer which are full of such allegories. I am influenced by the fragmented bodies of ancient Greek sculptures and how through their broken limps they transform into new forms. I am fascinated by the Ancient Cycladic figurines. I admire how time has stripped all unnecessary to leave them bare in their absolute purity of material and form. I also have great respect for the Japanese culture. I am drawn to their contrast between their exquisite aesthetic based on Tao and Zen, their fascination for detail, their respect for simplicity and the capacity to find beauty in the torn and old. All these, against a darker side filled with Geishas in very strict male society. Tribal Masks also play a significant part in my work. Humans have a very deep relationship with Masks, we use them for centuries both literary and metaphorically. I think of my portraits as masks, that we wear to fit in a problematic society. AK
