​I am a Greek/Canadian multidisciplinary artist working in drawing, painting, video and installation. My work is influenced by my cultural and personal background along with concepts of identity, nature, and uprootedness. Drawing from different disciplines, such as geography, architecture, psychology and technology, I map micro and macro spaces similar to a cartographer. I create meta-maps of topography, movement, and connections creating a sense of location and place. I studied philosophy and art at the University of Toronto and York University, and 3D Computer Animation at the Toronto Film School.​
