Valentini Mavrodoglou

I'm a visual artist based in Athens, Greece . My inspiration comes mostly from memories and dreams conglomerated with life and death, with an inclination to unify everything in a holistic manner. My goal is to create a new ontology of things, to give it a breath of its own, even if the forms are recognizable, or a pattern can be attributed to something known. Its the new forms of things, not in pictorial way, but by a context/content sort of meaning. As for the medium printmaking and ink drawings are always my first choices. I have a constant need to create; I sometimes need to force myself into making a break for a while. Otherwise creation is as constant as my life itself.

I have studied Fashion Design and Graphic Design in Athens, and Fine and Applied Arts in the University of Western Macedonia. I have worked in several different appointments and design projects
