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 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 means to bridge the gap and communicate with my psychiatrists. Both dreams and photography can be windows into emotions, subconscious thoughts, and symbolic representations of what’s happening internally, which makes them great tools for communication when verbal expression is difficult. I was using my analog Rollerflex 2.8 f camera, capturing my world as trying to understand it better, although I think my ideas of the world 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.
On beaches under the stars 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, I create a trending fashion that was unfortunately copied tragically by my followers.
We moved in Athens at 2018 and started my studies in "Athens School of Fine Arts" in 2020, working with all different media, from performances, video, sculpturing , painting, installations, to employing the post-internet methods and LARP ( Live Action Role Playing).
