I am Maria and I live in Athens, Greece.
I am an electrical engineer 9:00-17:00 and an artist & book lover 24-7.
I consider myself a creative mind trapped in a technocratic profession.

On art...
I have been making art and crafts since I was a little girl. The first vivid memory I have of myself is drawing greeting cards and crafting a guitar from cardboard paper.
On watercolors...
On colors...
I love all colours even dull ones such as grey. But some of my favourite ones are Gold Green, indigo blue, burgundy, lemon yellow.
On books...
I love Leo Tolstoy, Jane Austen, Victor Hugo and Oscar Wilde. The more I read, the more books I like. Some of my favorite classic books are:
– Kreutzer Sonata, Confession, The death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy
– Persuasion by Jane Austen
– Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
– A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen
– The Miserables by Victor Hugo
– Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
– Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
On book art tales...
I love reading so much that occasionally I paint art that is inspired by a book that I read and love. It contains symbols from the book (occasionally as hidden messages) such as quotes, information about the heroes/ author, scenes etc.
On blogging...
You can read my blog where I express in writing my artistic journey and my inner thoughts on art…
