We do not create for applause. 
We do not create to escape the “ordinary.”
We create because we must —
because within us lives a wound that speaks in color,
movement, and form.
Art is not the goal. Art is the residue.
The true work is healing.
Creation is a ritual of self-repair,
a dialogue with our own fractures.
The artist who dares to go deep
enough may touch the world’s pain —
but always begins with their own.
My work is a testament to this path.
My performances are not spectacles, but invitations.
I enter the vulnerable, the raw, the unspoken —
and with a quiet, feminine courage. 
I ask others to enter with me.
Not to observe. 
But to feel.
This is art for transformation.
ABOUT ME
The key themes of my works are explored in the following cycles:
• an encounter with a totem animal ("Birth of the Sacred Deer")
• shadow work ("Immersion," "Mermaid," "Famme Fatale")
• an exploration of sensitivity ("Intimacy," "I'll Be Pleased If You Touch Me," "Merger")
• experiencing loss and letting go ("Girls Cry," "Body Memory," "Folds of Memory," "Skin")
I view my art as a sequence of rituals born from experience—both everyday and sacred. Through these practices, I build bridges between the inner and the outer, between personal experience and collective memory, between the present and the future.
PROJECTS
Sign up for a massage, a private consultation, or choose video lessons to give yourself some quality time and attention.
Master facial and scalp self-massage to reconnect with yourself, resolve internal conflicts, and feel at peace with your body.
This attention relieves excess tension, pain, and depression, bringing calm, a sense of support, and a resource for creativity.
I offer support and stay in touch after the practices, helping you gently navigate any periods of transformation.
Give yourself care, attention, and practices that restore clarity, strength, and the ability to live the life you truly desire.
JOIN ME
At the core of the project lies an artistic exploration of four rooms-states:
Childhood, Youth, Adulthood, and Old Age.

Each participant will receive an art object — a necklace or bracelet with a lock and two keys, evoking an ancient motif while reversing its meaning:
the key is no longer a source of fear but a guide leading back to oneself.

Persephone is a project born on the Day of the Equinox in Vyritsa.

Inspired by the goddess Persephone, it is dedicated to the cycles of the year and inner transformations.
It is not a story or a plot, but a living space for experiencing transitions: from light to darkness, from descent to rebirth.

In this project, nature and myth merge, revealing the depth of the experience that each of us goes through together with the rhythms of the Earth.

The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life.
