Mariva Zacharof

I m a visual artist of Greek origin,raised in Belgium and studied in the UK,currently living and working in Athens, Greece, who travels a lot.
My work is anthropocentric and anthropomorphic. I love the human form and all the issues that can be addressed to it. I specifically focus into children as they have greater clarity of vision and constantly evolute.
