“Lady and Knight of Art” 2025 Honoring Artistic and Cultural Contribution
Annita Apostolidou Platis is honored with the Lady and Knight of Art Award 2025 from Fondazione Costanza, Italy, for her artistic and cultural contribution and her acclaimed series The Era Clockmakers.
Fondazione Costanza, Carini, Palermo, Italy
In July 2025, I was deeply honored to receive the Lady and Knight of Art Award from Fondazione Costanza in recognition of my contribution to contemporary art and culture.
The award ceremony took place in Carini, Palermo, Italy, at the Oleificio Failla, in the presence of journalists, photographers, and cultural representatives. Presented by Dr. Alessandro Costanza, President of the Foundation, this distinction celebrates artists whose work reflects excellence, originality, and devotion to the advancement of art.
My series The Era Clockmakers was selected as the artistic focus for this honor — a body of work that explores time, memory, and creation as parallel dimensions within human experience.
The event reaffirmed my belief that art is a living bridge between heritage and innovation, uniting diverse voices under the timeless pursuit of beauty and truth.

I feel truly blessed because during Christmas season my artwork titled “Lady Hope” was the OFFICIAL SELECTION

This artwork is my Christmas Hope for All.

POSEIDONE Il Dio dei Mari
Honored to receive the POSEIDONE – Il Dio dei Mari award from Accademia Italia In Arte Nel Mondo, celebrating my Words collection and its deep connection between Greek mythology and contemporary art.
Accademia Italia In Arte Nel Mondo
What a great honor!
I am deeply touched and proud to receive this recognition from the Accademia Italia In Arte Nel Mondo with the award "POSEIDONE Il Dio del Mare della Mitologia Greca".
“Poseidone” is in my hands now!
Among other renowned artists who were also awarded, I was the artist that through my artworks promoted Greece. I represented the power of the Culture and History in Ancient Greece, including elements and symbolic Greek words from our Philosophy and Mythology.
The Academic committee that evaluated the artworks of my new collection called “Words”, stated that my artistic work meets a providential need of Art history!
The Greek Mythology, as also the history of Rome and Ancient Egypt, have a powerful influence on my new collection of artworks.
I would like to thank once again the Honorary Committee of the Accademia Italia In Arte nel Mondo, who in collaboration with their art experts and analysts of the department of Art Theory and History of Art, they recognized once again my collection of artworks as the connection between ancient civilizations through the modern side of Art.
I also want to thank the Honorary President Dr. Michele Miulli, for the honour and the recognition of my work.
A spectacular event that emphasized, in accordance with Article 27, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the protection of the Right to freedom of expression, including artistic and creative expression and more specifically to Art as a World Heritage.
