THE WORKSHOP

WHO AM I ?
I am an illustrator artist based in Athens, Greece. I grew up in Geneva, Switzerland and for as long as I can remember I have been making art.
MY ARTISTIC STYLE
I grew up reading comic books, and ever since I’m a little girl it is something that we always did in my family. So, when I finally knew what I wanted to do after school I chose to study in Vellios School of Art, in Athens, I, almost, undoubtedly decided
to take the « comic book art courses » as my specialization.
I love the freshness, the originality and the freedom that this artistic style gives you.
Because of my love for the comic art, my illustrations are mostly
influenced by its characteristics. I love to be able to use comic style
to express my feelings through my illustrations and without the need to
draw a whole comic book.

MY INSPIRATIONS
My multicultural background has considerably helped me find the topics of my drawings. I have chosen to draw mostly about Greek culture, traditions and everyday life. This is a way for me to connect with my roots, thing that I couldn't really do when I was living aboard. In general, I love to draw about different cultures, ethnicities and traditions of the World, but mostly Balkans, Middle East and the Mediterranean region.

HOW I WORK ?
I work with different methods : pencil, Indian ink (my favourite), watercolor, gouache, and digital. I mostly work digitally for practical reason, it's a pretty confortbale way to work to tell the truth !

WHO HELP ME DO MY WORK ?
I only work with small local businesses ! All of my art prints are printed and hand-framed by Kanto Korniza, a Piraeus/ Livadeia based enterprise. My t-shirts, sweatshirts and tote bags are silk printed by Silk Bastards, an Athenian enterprise too. And for the others typographic works, I'll work with local print shop.
