Welcome to "Legends - the Code"

Welcome to “Legends – The Code,” a powerful art series by Annita Apostolidou Platis. Through ten mixed media digital collages and poems, mythological women are reimagined as symbols of strength, resilience, and timeless influence in today’s world.

New series of artworks by Annita Apostolidou Platis

"Welcome to "Legends – The Code," a series of ten mixed media digital collages that bridge the past with the present by weaving the tales of mythological women whose stories of strength, resilience, and power echo through the ages. Following my previous collection, "Links," which explored the connectivity between women, nature, mythology, and history, this new series delves deeper into the personas of legendary women who have shaped cultural narratives about femininity and fortitude.

Each artwork, accompanied by a poem, forms a narrative woven from the vibrant threads of ancient mythology, reimagined through a modern lens. As you engage with each piece, you are invited to decode the hidden messages embedded within the canvases, enriching your appreciation of these powerful narratives. This exploration is not merely an artistic journey but a cultural dialogue, enhancing our understanding of how these legendary figures continue to influence contemporary life.

Through this series, I aim to celebrate the legendary past while drawing meaningful parallels to the experiences of modern women, illustrating that the core of human experience remains constant even as contexts change."

A Season of Artistic Reflection

Annita Apostolidou Platis closes the Spring International Art Exhibition with gratitude and inspiration. Featuring her artwork The Gift, The One Who Holds The Elixir and honored with a Certificate of Artistic Merit, she reflects on impermanence, curatorial practice, and the collaborative spirit that shaped the event.

Closing Thoughts on the Spring International Art Exhibition

As the curtains close on the Spring International Art Exhibition at the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation, I find myself enveloped in a profound sense of gratitude and inspiration. This exhibition not only showcased diverse talents and perspectives but also provided me with a unique opportunity to engage with art in the dual roles of artist and curator.

The art piece "The Gift, The One Who Holds The Elixir," which featured in the exhibition, explores the delicate impermanence of beauty, captured through the ethereal symbolism of the cherry blossom. This theme resonated deeply with the audience, prompting reflections on the transient yet impactful moments that define our existence.

I am deeply honored to have been awarded the Certificate of Artistic Merit by the foundation. This accolade is not just a recognition of my individual contribution but also a testament to the collaborative spirit that animated this event. The foundation's feedback—"Your contributions significantly enriched the event, and your unwavering commitment to your artistry was vividly evident in your works"—is particularly gratifying. It reaffirms my dedication to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and engagement.

Behind the scenes, the journey was equally enriching. Working alongside a vibrant community of artists and thinkers, I was able to weave a narrative that extended beyond the visual and ventured into the experiential. From the initial concept to the final day of the exhibition, every step was a learning curve, steeped in the collective ethos of creative exploration.

As I reflect on these experiences, the recognition I received is not merely a personal achievement but a bridge to future artistic endeavors. It is a reminder of the responsibilities and possibilities that come with curatorial and artistic practices—of curating not just art but also curating life's ephemeral stories.

Looking forward, I am excited about the paths that now lay open. The interactions, insights, and inspirations from this exhibition will undoubtedly shape my future projects. I am eager to explore new horizons, continue my dialogues with fellow artists, and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of the global art community.

Thank you to everyone who visited, engaged with, and supported this exhibition. Your enthusiasm fuels the art we create and the stories we tell. Here's to continuing this beautiful journey together, with art as our shared language and exploration as our collective adventure. - Annita A.

My Life My Art

“Serenity” — one of my favorite works from the Camouflage collection, embodying faith, silence, and timeless connection.

“Serenity” Artwork

One of my favorite artworks with strong meanings from my collection of artworks called “Camouflage”.

It is an expression of faith and beliefs. The shapes and colours convey a strong bond and meaning.

It is like a connection to the past, a colorful and dynamic language.

As the ancient Ionian Greek philosopher Pythagoras said: Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform.

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".

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.

Foresight

From the Camouflage collection, “Foresight” reflects the harmony between myth, color, and spirit — inspired by Asian culture and the Japanese art of transformation. A visual ode to divine protection and intuitive power.

from my latest series Camouflage

Annita Apostolidou Platis

“Foresight” is my artwork inspired from Asian culture, myths and the Japanese art of makeup. Asian theatre generally includes the most sophisticated face painting designs in the world. Eyes scare away evil spirits. Red express the positive Yang. It is for protection from evil. White is closely linked to the spiritual world. Black is about fear. Transformational makeup can portray the supernatural. Face tattoos are for protection from bad spirits. Gold is the colour of the sun. “Foresight” painting symbolizes gods’ power and mercy. It shows the inner strength and the power to see beyond.

Serenity

Inspired by India’s symbolic colors, Serenity from the Camouflage collection reflects inner peace, calmness, and faith — a tribute to harmony and mindful transformation.

from my latest series Camouflage

Annita Apostolidou Platis

“Serenity” is my artwork inspired from India which is the country of symbolic colours. It is an expression of faith and beliefs. The symbolism of colour stands out and controls every aspect of life. Blue indicates a person with a stable mind. Gold is about trust and purity. “Serenity” painting symbolizes inner peace and calmness. As the ancient Ionian Greek philosopher Pythagoras said: Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform.

Anticipation

Inspired by African tribes and cultures, Anticipation from the Camouflage collection reflects renewal, unity, and spiritual awakening through the sacred symbolism of color and form.

from my latest series Camouflage

Annita Apostolidou Platis

“Anticipation” is my artwork inspired from African tribes and cultures. They believed that the hair ornaments and styles have a way to communicate with the Divine Being. All patterns and colours have meaning. Colours have significance throughout all cultures and speaks to our individual personalities and thinking, influencing our emotions and also affecting lives. The colour blue is associated with open spaces, freedom, signifies peace and unity. The colour green demonstrates renewal, purple symbolizes wisdom and black is power. “Anticipation” artwork has the meaning of new beginning, new life. It is all about spiritual energy.

Luxembourg Art Prize Participation 2020

Annita Apostolidou Platis participates in the Luxembourg Art Prize with The Princess and the Red Goldfish, a surreal exploration of transformation, renewal, and inner strength.

Annita Apostolidou Platis

My official certificate for my artistic achievements of my participation.

This year I participated with a painting from my series of artworks called “Eternal Lover”.

It is truly a big honor for me to obtain this special Certificate from the Pinacothèque, a private museum located in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Artwork: The Princess and the Red Goldfish
Collection: Eternal Lover

About the Artwork:
The Princess and the Red Goldfish explores perception, transformation, and renewal through a surreal fairy-tale lens. Blending myth and emotion, the piece traces a symbolic passage from shadow to light — a meditation on resilience, self-discovery, and spiritual rebirth.

Artist’s Note:
“In this piece, I sought to merge the fragility of a princess’s gaze with the mythic symbolism of the goldfish — a creature that swims between illusion and truth. The work reflects my vision of transformation: how vulnerability can be both a prison and a threshold to freedom.”
— Annita Apostolidou Platis

I want to appreciate the President and Founder Hervé Lancelin and the Members of the Jury for showing great respect for me with this Certificate.

Thank you all!
