• I was born in 1996 in Athens ,Greece .
•I΄m in my 5th and final year at the School of Fine Arts, Department of Visual Arts and Art Sciences in the University of Ioannina. I have chosen the visual direction.
•I was inspired to paint from the 1st grade of Primary School and started my first artistic lessons at the Children's Art Museum in Plaka and I had then decided that I want to deal with art..
•For the time being, I experiment with various techniques but my main occupation would be :
