itsmi Artist

itsmi

I am itsmi, I grew up and currently live in Athens, where I finished my Fine Art & New Media studies.

Pursuing absolute freedom is the key element of my work. Constant experimentation is the main means that liberates any and all hang-ups of mainstream art and allows me to express my potential to the maximum. I like experimenting with materials, be it oil, aquarelle, charcoal, spray-paint, chalk, pencil or colours I come upon on the street. Each material has its own language and thus a type of dialogue eventually develops, between me, my material of choice, my hand and the tool I am holding with it.

The Works

The works “Life” and “Moods” belong to my latest body of work, an attempt to capture the emotions I have been experiencing in the past two years. Feelings like fear, anxiety, joy occupy central stage in these works. I opted to use discarded fabric remnants because I like reviving objects that are about to expire. «Death» is not something finite. The end of a determinate type of life, doesn’t signify the passage to nothingness. It may very well mark the beginning of a different form of life.

“I like breathing life into objects that are at the brink of death.”
