artist statement
Over the years, my practice has evolved from engaging with familial archives and generational memory toward a broader investigation of how stories take root in the body, the land, and the rhythms that sustain us. What began as an exploration of lineage has become an inquiry into feminine endurance, the rituals that endure across centuries, and the quiet forces that inform who we are.
As a second-generation Greek artist born in Tiohtià :ke/Montreal, I exist in a space between cultures, languages, and legacies. Being a woman, a mother, a daughter of immigrants and granddaughter of refugees, I understand my experience as part of a long continuum of departures and returns. This liminal position forms the ground for my practice: a place where ancestral narratives meet contemporary life, and where personal and collective memory converge.
Working with portraiture, natural and urban environments, and symbolic imagery, I create visual compositions that explore rupture, renewal and the search for home within. The images often emerge through a slow, attentive and intuitive process of mindful presence, an embodied form of research that grounds creative practice in the rhythms of everyday life.
Across my projects, I trace how myth and memory, body and land, shape the fragile threads that bind us to one another and to the worlds we inhabit. My practice emerges from the entanglement of these forces, an ongoing effort to honour the visible and invisible stories that shape us.
