I was raised to love the way ancient Greece faced humans in art. This love affected the way I see my human canvases, as well as her evolution.
Living outside, in the rural area, “isolated” from the world was an obstacle, however, it contributed to my creative process. As I frequently say “In that house I grew up dreaming out loud! ”.​
My relationship with art started at the age of 2, when I painted the white walls of the newly-built family house. Even at such young age, I knew that I would become a great fine artist, as I was “created to create”. Hence, I took art courses for eight years under the supervision of a professor of the school of Fine Arts in Athens, Greece.
​During my adult life, I was faced with certain personal experiences that turned out to significantly affect my work and creative process. I have used those difficult experiences to translate human emotions through my own artist language.
KonKa-my artistic name-was born; it is a combination of my first and last name as I need to remain connected to it.
That moment I decided to follow my instincts and deal with abuse, mental health issues and sexuality in my art. Inspired by the female form and considering the human figure to be the best work of art, my themes are mainly social and cultural.
My Story
As a child I was read the poems Odyssey and Troy at bedtime, and being surrounded by ancient Greek monuments made me fall in love with how the ancient Greek masters depicted the human form. Growing up in a rural area made my imagination run wild; drawing on the walls of my childhood home and proclaiming to everyone that I would one day be an artist.​
I am most inspired by the human body, especially the female form, and consider the human figure to be the best work of art. Our bodies are a temple, our individual temples, and connects each of us universally; no matter the age, shape, gender, or color, the body is an exquisite masterpiece. Everything in life and in death leads to the urge to create.
