"Insomnia" Painting

“Τα πάντα ρει, και μηδέποτε κατά αυτό μένει» (everything flows, and nothing remains the same), Heraclitus 5th-6th century BC. The Greek philosopher with the above expression supported the idea of continuous movement, that our life is constantly changing, it is never the same, and that whatever remains immobile is considered dead. Using this idea I completely identify myself with the philosophers thoughts and I would like to keep myself in this constant movement. I always try to develop, educate myself and take advantage of the best opportunities that life brings my way. My desire to travel lead to an amazing experience in the Italian city of Florence, I completed my studies with the maximum of honors in Florence’s Fine Arts Academy and perfected my Italian language skills. I decided to then move to the Spanish city of Barcelona for a postgraduate degree in Artistic and Creative Therapies. I then decided to advance my knowledge and skills in the field of Special Needs world that fascinated me and embarked on a new master’s degree in Special and Inclusive Education. I have worked with students who have a range of different needs, (Autism, ADHD, Childhood Schizophrenia, and Dyslexia) who have needed support for a combination of social, behavioural and academic issues and these aroused more questions and matters in my head. I used to believe that art was my getaway to all the difficulties I came through during my life in this world, but now I am realising that art was indeed my life, my world, my everything! A place where only those who have experienced can understand. I have now dedicated all my space and time to the creation and exploration of new techniques and methods and trying to produce the max I can every day!
