Painting and drawing plants and flowers has always been a passion of mine. During my childhood in Africa I was surrounded by lush vegetation and exotic plants which inspired me to create watercolours expressing my love for the vitality of nature.
The vivid colours of the Mediterranean landscape intermingled with limitless aromatic flora have motivated me to paint little portraits of Greece, that manage to capture the essence of the Greek way of life.
