Behind the Pages of CATS! – My Journey as Writer and Artist

Annita Apostolidou Platis shares her reflections as writer, artist, and Editorial Board member for the CATS! Art Book by the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation. Her essay “Of Thread and Shadow: The Cat as Guardian and Muse” and graphite artworks explore the feline as oracle and timeless creative companion.

✨ Honored and grateful to be part of this remarkable international project as both writer and artist — and as a member of the Editorial Board of the CATS! Art Book by the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation.

My heartfelt thanks to the entire team, and especially to Allegra Barbagelata, Editor-in-Chief, for her inspiring vision and leadership.

It’s a true joy to see my essay “Of Thread and Shadow: The Cat as Guardian and Muse” open the book and exhibition, weaving together mythology, history, and the quiet presence of the feline as a creative muse.

Alongside it, my graphite works explore the cat as oracle — a silent co-creator at the threshold between intuition and form.

This collaboration has been a rare experience of artistic dialogue and editorial storytelling — where text and image meet in perfect symmetry. 🖤🐾

CATS! – International Art Exhibition & Exclusive Publication Edition

Annita Apostolidou Platis joins the CATS! International Exhibition & Art Book by Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation with four graphite artworks and the essay Of Thread and Shadow: The Cat as Guardian and Muse.

In September 2025, my work was honored with inclusion in the CATS! International Art Exhibition & Art Book, curated and published by the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation.

This project celebrates the feline not as mere subject, but as guardian, oracle, and co-creator of artistic mystery.

The exhibition launched online on September 20, 2025, followed by the release of the luxury print edition of the art book on September 30, 2025.

My Contribution

For this special publication, I created four graphite drawings, each exploring the feline as a liminal figure — silent witness, protector of the unseen, and myth-weaver across cultures and time:

• She Who Sees Beyond
• The Oracle of Unwritten Time
• The Scribe of Forgotten Kingdoms
• The Watcher of Every Stroke

Alongside the artworks, my essay “Of Thread and Shadow: The Cat as Guardian and Muse” opens the book and weaves throughout the exhibition. It traces the presence of cats in mythology, art history, and personal encounters — from Ancient Egypt and Greece to the intimate theatre of the artist’s studio.

Why Cats?

The feline figure has always carried symbolic resonance — autonomous, watchful, and mysterious. These works reflect on that liminal presence not as domesticated companions, but as guardians of silence, intuition, and memory.

Whispers of Spring - Curatorial Essay by Annita Apostolidou Platis :The Timeless Dialogue Between Art, Nature, and Rebirth

Annita Apostolidou Platis’ essay Whispers of Spring (Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation, Spring 2025) explores spring as a timeless metaphor for rebirth, myth, and artistic transformation, weaving connections between art, nature, and the human spirit.

I am honored to share my curatorial essay, Whispers of Spring: The Poetry of Renewal and Transformation, originally published as the opening feature in Art Magazine – Issue 4 (Spring 2025) by the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation.

This reflective piece explores spring not merely as a season, but as a metaphor for creative renewal, mythological resonance, and inner transformation—themes central to both my visual artwork and curatorial practice.

"Whispers of Spring: The Poetry of Renewal and Transformation"

Spring Curatorial Essay by Annita Apostolidou Platis

Spring as a Season of Becoming

Spring is more than a season; it is a symphony of rebirth, an ode to transformation, a whispered promise that life is ever unfolding in cycles of light and shadow. It arrives like a breath held too long, exhaled in a rush of color and warmth, scattering blossoms across the earth as if nature itself were painting its own revival. This is the moment when the world stretches from slumber, when roots stir beneath thawed soil, and when the air, thick with fragrance, hums with the secret language of renewal.

The Ancient Sacredness of Spring

Ancient civilizations revered spring not merely as a passage of time but as a divine ritual—a moment of cosmic reawakening that bridges mortality with the eternal. To our ancestors, the arrival of spring signified a sacred connection to the divine, a rhythm in which all living things were intertwined. The goddess Eirene, known to the Greeks as the embodiment of peace and renewal, walked hand in hand with Thallo, the deity of fresh blooms, ensuring the Earth flourished anew. The Romans honored Flora with exuberant festivals, while the Norse celebrated Freya, whose presence was thought to summon the first thaw. In every culture, from the Slavic goddess Lada to the Egyptian Osiris, the cycle of life, death, and rebirth mirrored the transformation of the land itself.

Art as the Mirror of Spring’s Renewal

Spring is a gateway, a liminal space between what has been and what will be. It is the shedding of the old, the courage to step into the unknown, to bloom where one was once buried. Like petals unfurling, art itself mimics this metamorphosis, offering new forms, emotions, and narratives to the world. Through brushstrokes and sculpture, through poetry and melody, the essence of spring has long been immortalized by artists who sought to capture its fleeting beauty.

A History of Artistic Reverence

In Botticelli’s Primavera, a lush dreamscape unfolds, where nymphs and deities dance in celebration of nature’s resurgence. Monet, with his delicate impressionist touch, invites us to lose ourselves in the soft, golden light of Springtime, while Arcimboldo’s Spring reimagines human form through an intricate arrangement of blossoms. The Japanese woodblock artist Utagawa Kunisada captured the hanami tradition—cherry blossom viewing—where the delicate transience of sakura mirrors the ephemeral nature of life itself. Each piece is a reverence, a meditation, a visual hymn to the perpetual renewal that spring bestows.

Spring’s Literary and Emotional Voice

Beyond the canvas, literature has also served as a vessel for spring’s essence. William Wordsworth, in his poem Lines Written in Early Spring, laments the loss of nature’s innocence yet finds solace in its perpetual return. Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland unfolds like a spring dream—an awakening of curiosity, where the impossible unfurls like a blooming vine. Across cultures and centuries, the arrival of spring has stirred the human spirit, urging us to embrace renewal, to step beyond the threshold of the past and into the luminous embrace of possibility.

Spring’s art is not confined to the past; it breathes anew in contemporary creativity. Today’s artists continue to interpret the season as both metaphor and reality—a revelation of the senses, an invitation to transformation. Petals and birds, symbols of renewal across cultures, whisper through canvases, evoking the gentle passage of time. A red robin heralding dawn, butterflies emerging from their chrysalis, fields of daffodils trembling in the breeze—each an echo of nature’s unspoken wisdom, a reminder that all things bloom in their own time.

The Language of Color and the Art of Feeling

Spring speaks in the language of color, a silent dialogue between nature and the soul. The pastels of dawn, the deep emerald of budding leaves, the gold of sun-drenched petals—all awaken something ancient within us. Colors possess an alchemical magic, stirring emotions, breathing life into dormant dreams. It is no wonder that artists, poets, and musicians alike have always turned to spring as a muse, for it represents possibility, the endless unfolding of what lies ahead.

Spring as Inner Metamorphosis

Beyond its visual splendor, spring is also a mirror to the human spirit. It teaches resilience, urging us to trust the process of growth, to embrace the changes that shape us. Just as winter strips the trees bare before granting them new leaves, so too must we shed what no longer serves us to step fully into our own becoming. There is an unspoken poetry in this process, a lesson in surrender and renewal that art so powerfully captures.

A Living Exhibition

And so, as this season of rebirth unfolds, we stand in its embrace, witnessing nature’s grand performance—an exhibition not confined to walls but painted across the world itself. The art of spring is alive in every petal, every birdsong, every golden shaft of light that spills through unfurling leaves. It is an unending narrative, written by the hands of time, whispered by the wind, waiting to be seen, felt, and translated into creation.

Like the blossoms that return each year, art remains eternal—a cycle of rebirth, a testament to life’s unyielding beauty. And within this moment of emergence, where colors bloom upon canvas and emotions take flight, we find ourselves standing at the gateway of something profound: the invitation to witness, to feel, and, above all, to embrace the transformation that stirs within us.

Whispers of Spring: My Opening Essay and Art Feature in BCAF Art Magazine – Issue 4

Honored to open BCAF Art Magazine – Issue 4 (Spring 2025) with my curatorial essay Whispers of Spring and four artworks from The Seasons – Special Edition, exploring spring as a metaphor for renewal, myth, and creative transformation.

Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation with Annita Apostolidou Platis

Opening Feature in Art Magazine – Spring 2025 | Annita Apostolidou Platis

Spring, with its timeless symbolism of renewal and transformation, has always been a deeply personal muse in my artistic and written work. I am honored to share that I open Art Magazine – Issue 4 (Spring 2025) by the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation with my four-page curatorial essay titled “Whispers of Spring: The Poetry of Renewal and Transformation.”

This essay marks a milestone in my career as both artist and writer, serving as the thematic gateway to an international publication that celebrates contemporary creativity across disciplines and cultures.

In the essay, I explore how spring transcends its role as a mere season—it becomes a metaphor for inner awakening, the cyclical nature of growth, and the alchemy of creative rebirth. Drawing inspiration from mythology, art history, and the silent wisdom of nature, I reflect on the artists who have captured spring’s essence through brushstroke, melody, and word.

Accompanying the essay are four artworks from my Seasons – Special Edition (Spring Collection):

The Blooming Soul – A celebration of floral vitality and the inner blossoming of spirit.
Allure – A richly layered portrait immersed in color, emotion, and natural symbolism.
Dawn – An ode to the golden light of spring’s first breath, blending nostalgia with renewal.
Heirloom – A poetic juxtaposition of vintage beauty and the fresh elegance of springtime.

Each piece visually echoes the essay’s central theme: transformation as a sacred, ongoing cycle—one that artists across time have interpreted through color, texture, and narrative.

This collaboration is more than a publication—it’s a shared journey with the Barbagelata Foundation, whose commitment to honoring artistic voice and diversity is deeply inspiring. I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to begin this issue, and to see my visual and literary expressions bloom across the pages.

Annita Apostolidou Platis in The Alchemical Art Magazine – Issue I

I am thrilled to share a meaningful chapter in my artistic journey—my feature and exclusive interview in the debut issue of The Alchemical Art Magazine, a powerful publication dedicated to visionary contemporary creators.

This first edition is a celebration of transformation, artistic courage, and mythic symbolism. Within its digital pages, I reflect on my path—from childhood dreams and artistic obstacles to the inspiration behind my Spring-themed works in the EROS Virtual Exhibition. The publication presents excerpts from my interview, where I open up about my relationship with surrealism, the evolution of my mixed media techniques, and how mythology, femininity, and nature have shaped my creative lens.

The EROS Virtual Exhibition, curated by The Alchemical Art, was a transformative experience. I had the honor of showcasing three works—Blaze, Message, and Regalia—from my “The Seasons – Special Edition” collection, themed around Spring. These pieces explore love’s ephemeral power, rebirth, and spiritual resilience. One of the highlights of this collaboration was seeing my art displayed on a digital billboard at Flinders Street Station in Melbourne—an unforgettable moment where art met the public eye in one of Australia’s most iconic spaces.

I am deeply grateful to The Alchemical Art team for their trust, their beautifully curated magazine, and their commitment to creating a global platform that values emotional depth and artistic innovation. Their work sets a new standard in digital publications, offering visibility and respect to artists from across the globe.

This collaboration has marked a milestone in my journey—both as a visual artist and storyteller. I am honored to be part of this debut issue and look forward to what this community will build in the future.
