Photo Courtesy Dimitris PilavakidisI am a Greek American visual artist. I was born and raised in Chicago and studied Architecture Theory and History at UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design. I am currently based in Athens where I am in my third year of studies at Athens School of Fine Arts in the painting studio of Pantelis Chandris and performance studio of Georgia Sagri. I am also a lecturer in the Architecture Faculty at Metropolitan College of Greece.
My work utilizes repetition as a structure to produce new forms. I am interested in the meaning taken on by inanimate objects (as obstacle, as aid) and our relationship to the landscape of objects we inhabit (clutter, house). My design education focused on the social and cultural impact of the built environment.
I am currently inspired by the work and thinking of Anna Oppermann
