Vicky Porfyri

My artistic name is Vicky Porfyri and I am from Greece. I am a self-taught abstract and conceptual painter.

My inspiration stems from true stories and real-life events, things that have had an impact on myself or other people and are thus depicted on each of my canvases.
These stories come alive, as I create and recall them, most of the times using bright and vibrant acrylic colours, inviting the viewer to take part in these wonderful and engaging tales!
You may also notice, words or quotes written on some of them!
Paintings are not just a beautiful decorative element. Have energy, just like the words and quotes do and that is the reason, I love to combine them!
