 I was born in Athens, in times when witches still lived inside wells, at the house where the famous greek poet Anggelos Sykelianos lived and died. 

Nobody looked after me, so I was lucky enough to understand this world through my own fantasies. 

At the age of seven, after my father abandoned me I started drawing, I mean seriously drawing ,and had my own gallery named " T.X. gallery" in my bedroom, that's when I first started selling my paintings. 

As a child I was diagnosed with ADHD and had difficulties at school, but that never bothered me, as I was writing amazing  stories in class.

After graduating school I studied photography and  worked as a photographer assistant where I learned a lot next to him, and then as a portrait photographer in magazines for many years. 

Coming back after a long trip (almost a year) from India, I was diagnosed with BPD. During an episode marked by a persecution complex, my mental illness rendered verbal communication nearly impossible. In response, I turned to my dreams and photography as alternative ways to bridge the gap and communicate with my psychiatrists. Both dreams and photography became “windows” into the unconscious and served as meaningful tools in my communication when verbal expression is difficult with my psychiatrists.Having two tools: my notebook with my dreams-capturing the unseen, and my analog Rollerflex 2.8 f camera-capturing my way of seeing, helped me build  my own view of life,  although my ideas  haven't distanced themselves much with the ones I had as a child.

I became a single mother by choice and lived with my child in the islands of Syros and Aegina, with long stops at "small Cyclades islands" were we slept on beaches under the stars. Here I learned the art of micro-macrame and that's when I started working as a jeweller designer for many years, by selling my work in many jewellery shops in Europe and US, and create a trending  fashion.

We moved in Athens with my daughter at 2018 and started my studies in "Athens School of Fine Arts" in 2020, experimenting with all different media, from performances, video, sculpturing , painting, poetry, installations, sound, to employing the post-internet methods and LARP ( Live Action Role Playing). 

But it seems that one thing I wasn't experimenting , as it was always part of my life, is writing my dreams, this is my most authentic work. Could it be because it is part of my skin,  I take it for granted, without giving the importance it should have ?
