Summary

Hello! I am Marianna and I am an artist. I was born and raised in Athens and I live in Paros island for three years. I do ceramics, painting and crafts. After a long journey of working in different fields and sectors, I reconnected with art three years ago. In art, I found the feeling of belonging, identity and freedom.

I am a highly sensitive person, I am a human-aid volunteer in an NGO and I also, volunteer occassionaly in animal projects.

My passion is to keep learning, gaining knowledge, experience and skills of new things. I enjoy to work in creative environments, open my horizons and meet good people.

"The body I live in" visual arts and psychanalysis

I attended two autonomous and separate seminars of these series. In these seminars psychanalysis meets visual arts. We explored the body through old and modern passions (anxiety, phobias, addictions, depressions, loves). Their expressions and depictions were explored and sought, both analytically and in important works of art.
