With my lens, I explore the boundaries between reality and illusion, creating intimate, obscure, unsettling universes shaped by embodied memories and experiences of place. Interacting with surrounding elements, nature, the built environment, and the human body, experimenting with scanograms and mixed media techniques, I translate my memories, experiences, and emotions into visual stories.
Inspired by a place I return to inhabit it further, initially through photography and later through video or sound recording. Back to my studio I transform my experiences, evoked memories, or triggered explorations into visual renderings, distorted sounds, and ephemeral installations, often incorporating found objects. I introduce human presence through self-portraits and portraits of persons close to me.
I seek beauty in imperfection, uncharacteristic views, and unseen details. 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 work's unspoken narrative or autobiographical context.

Bio
I am a Greek-Swiss lens-based media artist. Based in Geneva and New York, I maintain an art practice in film and digital photography, video, sound, and mixed media, and have worked in exhibition production, postproduction and fine art printing, as well as lighting training and equipment management.
Growing up in Greece and Germany in an interdisciplinary and multilingual environment influenced my Applied 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 a Master's in Environment and Development. Moving to Geneva and joining the Photo Club Pictet, I started my transition to photography and visual arts.
I have exhibited in France, Italy, Switzerland, and the USA, and my work featured in various publications. 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 the Out of this World Photo Book Display exhibition for the ICP Library. Notably, in 2023, I exhibited my multimedia project Wunderkammer at the Liquida Photofestival in Torino and the Chashama Gallery in New York. Recognised as a FRESH EYES International Talent by GUP Magazine, I published my work in the FRESH EYES 2023 Conceptual and Fashion book, launched at Haute Photographie Amsterdam, and featured at Paris Photo and OFF Bratislava. In May 2024, I participated in Stir the Pot, a collaborative photography and mixed media publication by Overlapse Publishing, launched at the New York Art Book Fair and Peckham 24’s A Bigger Book Fair.
