I am a Greek-Norwegian visual artist based in Athens. My work is constructed around the themes of the human body and the feeling of ‘Uncanny’ while also exploring our connection with the natural world through hybrid forms .I work in a variety of media depending on the needs of each concept often sculpture, drawing and more recently installation and photography.
I like to play with contrasts both in materials and in meanings. My pieces are dreamy and cute and at the same time surrealistically dark. Grotesque but with a humorous touch using contemporary art practices mixed with traditional. Each project is usually expressed in a series of multiple works and as I consider myself a collector many of my sculptures are made by found objects and everyday items.
My inspiration is drawn from contemporary culture today , nature ,mythology and documentaries.
