Katerina Kalitsounaki<\/strong> is a visual artist based in Athens, Greece. She is a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA), where she developed her artistic identity with a focus on painting and printmaking.<\/p>

She is a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece (EETE) and several art collectives, as well as a founding member of the “art for earth22” and “red boat projects”. She actively participates in various artistic and scientific institutions and has presented her work in solo and group exhibitions in Greece and abroad, hosted by prominent exhibition spaces and cultural foundations.<\/p>

Her artistic practice focuses on the dialectical relationship between humanity and nature, as well as on pressing social issues. Through her work, she explores themes of gender identity, female equality, environmental consciousness, sustainability, memory, and tradition.<\/p>

In her visual experiments, Kalitsounaki employs thread as a line and fabric as shape and color, creating contemporary textile\/fiber artworks that offer unconventional approaches to visual content. By redefining fiber as a primary medium, she restores its artistic value and identity within the contemporary art scene.<\/p>

Her works are held in numerous public and private collections. Originally from Rethymno, Crete, she currently lives and works in Athens.<\/p>

Thalia Kannavou<\/strong> is a visual artist with studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna (Painting) and a Master\u2019s degree from Neapolis University Paphos (Educational Management). Based in Heraklion, her work focuses on contemporary mixed media and conceptual art, and has been showcased in prominent exhibitions both in Greece and abroad.<\/p>

Her practice explores multilayered materiality and organic symbolism. Through manual labor and tactile textures, she counters the digital era, inviting the viewer into a “haptic” exploration. The layering of materials and the use of script serve as vehicles for memory and cultural tradition, guiding the viewer through space-time.<\/p>

Her works evolve in three dimensions, interacting dynamically with the surrounding space. Through the composition of fragments, Kannavou negotiates the construction of the self and the world, bringing the subconscious to the surface. Matter becomes the medium through which the inner core is made visible, offering a passage of communication between the creator and the viewer.<\/p>

“My name is Vivi-Nefeli Dinapogia<\/strong>. I was born in Malm\u00f6, Sweden. The clarity of northern light, unburdened by the Mediterranean glare, and the rhythmic vertical and horizontal cladding of a factory in my childhood neighborhood have profoundly shaped my visual perception of the world.<\/p>

I am drawn to an experiential approach to painting\u2014one where gesture and discovery meet the vibrant dialogue between color and line. My work explores the finality of composition and the inherent contradictions of ‘Co-existence’ within abstract, lyrical landscapes. I work primarily with oils and acrylics on canvas.<\/p>

A graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts (2012), I studied at the 1st Painting Studio under Professor Angelos Antonopoulos.<\/p>

My work has been featured in various group exhibitions and is held in private collections. Today, I live and work in Rethymno, \u00a0balancing my creative practice with my role as a Special Education teacher in primary education\u201d<\/p>

Maria Katsaveli<\/strong> was born in Heraklion, Crete, and studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, under the guidance of G. Pierno, while continuing her studies in Bologna with C. Pozzati.<\/p>

Her work moves between painting, installation art, and an exploration of materiality, focusing on memory, silence, decay, and the transformation of space. Through the use of organic or recycled materials, paper, fabric, and constructed forms, she creates visual environments that function as experiential narratives\u2014fragile landscapes between personal and collective experience.<\/p>

Since 2006, she has been a founding member of the artistic group 4Ground Art Group, which develops interdisciplinary actions and installations in both public and exhibition spaces. The group\u2019s first joint presentation was the installation \u201cRooms\u201d at Pagiopoieion, marking the beginning of a shared artistic journey based on material experimentation and the concept of spatial experience.<\/p>

She has presented works and installations in solo and group exhibitions in Greece and abroad, participating in festivals, art events, and site-specific projects. Among her most important presentations are the exhibitions \u201cSilences,\u201d \u201cThreshold,\u201d \u201cMy Greece,\u201d participation in the 8th Sardinia Biennale, as well as the installations \u201cOrigami,\u201d \u201cFragments,\u201d and \u201cNests.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
