She studied sculpture at the Athens School of Fine Arts with a scholarship from the Greek State Scholarship Foundation (IKY) and continued her studies at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris with a scholarship from the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs (EOMMEX). She is distinguished for the realistic and representational character of her sculptures, their moderation, proportions, and symmetry. She uses elements from her studies of the human figure in her sculptures, as well as elements from Aegean folk architecture and the archaic period of Greek sculpture. Her works can be found in various places, for example the bust of Xylouris in Heraklion, the bust of Cavafy in Alexandria and Nihori in Istanbul, and the imposing statue of Philip II on Cyprus-Papagos Avenue. He has also created monuments to the "Woman in the Resistance" in various villages in Crete. Among other things, he created the bronze sculpture of Maria Callas in Athens (Madrid Square, behind the Hilton Hotel), one of the most beautiful contemporary sculptures in the city. She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Greece and abroad, such as the 1980 Salon de Mai and the Alexandria Biennale of the same year. Her studies have been published in books, newspapers, and magazines, and she has participated in international and national symposiums and conferences. Her writings include the books "The Form of C.P. Cavafy," "The Epicurean Poet C.P. Cavafy," and "On Sculpture," while in 2003 the Benaki Museum published her book "Studying Theotokopoulos." In 2009, she was awarded by the Academy of Athens for her entire body of work.
I am so happy with my purchase. It was exactly as described. The shipping was very faster than I expected. It was nicely packaged. The value is worth the item. The seller had received message that was insufficient address and was communicated to me and I checked with postal carrier and it was their error. It was delivered today and I notified the seller. Will definitely buy again in the future.
Fantastic, responsive seller. The pendant is more beautiful in person. Price was very fair. And the shipping from Greece was remarkably fast. Seriously, faster than receiving mail from the Midwest in the US to Maryland! Thanks and will check back with your ebay shop.
