With my lens, I explore the boundaries between reality and illusion and create intimate, obscure, unsettling universes. Interacting with surrounding elements, nature, the built environment, and the human body, experimenting with scanograms and mixed media techniques, I translate memories, experiences, and my own emotions into visual stories.
Inspired by a place, I return to inhabit it further, initially through photography and later through video or sound recording, which I distort to create new sounds. Returning to my space, I translate my physical and emotional experiences into visual renderings incorporating also collected objects. I directly introduce human presence through self portraits and portraits of persons close to me.
I seek beauty in imperfection, uncharacteristic views, unseen details. Ideally, through exhibitions or artist books, I aim to invite others into my world, asking them to feel and respond in a personal introspective way to the unspoken narrative or autobiographical context of my work.

Bio
I am a Greek-Swiss lens-based media artist. Based in New York and Geneva, I maintain an art practice in film and digital photography, video, and sound.
Growing up in Greece and Germany in an interdisciplinary and multilingual environment influenced my Science and Art journey and my passion for languages and travelling. While studying Computer Engineering and Informatics, I had my first exhibition and photo book experience as a member of the Students Photo Club. Parallel to my work as a Software Engineer, I completed a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) and in Environment and Development. Moving to Geneva and joining the Photo Club Pictet, I started my transition to photography and visual arts.
Since 2016, I have presented my work in exhibitions in Switzerland, Italy, and the USA. While graduating in 2022 from the Creative Practices Program at the International Center of Photography (ICP), I presented my video work at the ICP Museum in New York and curated for the ICP Library a Photo Book Display exhibition entitled Out of this World. Notably, in 2023, I exhibited my multimedia project Wunderkammer at the Liquida Photofestival in Torino and the Chashama Gallery in New York. As a FRESH EYES International Talent by GUP Magazine, I published my work in the FRESH EYES 2023 Conceptual and Fashion book launched in Haute Photographie Amsterdam and featured in Paris Photo and OFF Bratislava.
