Maria Chatzaki

Maria Chatzaki is an artist based in Greece. She is currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in "Audiovisual Arts in the Digital Age" at the Ionian University.

She holds a degree with honors from the School of Fine Arts at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and also has a degree in Economic Sciences from the University of Macedonia.

Concepts such as senses, emotion, sensitivity, aesthetics, and empathy are not ones she "fears." These are words that share the same root in the Greek language. She also questions whether they truly conflict with reasoning and logic, believing that they are equally important to explore.

Maria draws inspiration from artists like Paul Klee, Mark Rothko, Sonia Delaunay-Terk, and Agnes Martin. She also has a deep love for poetry, theater, music, other forms of art, and philosophy.

Her focus is on the 'here and now' of the artwork, seeking to capture a poetic element in visual art, a kind of "aura," as described by Walter Benjamin.
