"Clarity in Disguise" Wins 1st Place at Best in Medium 2025 Art Awards

Honored to receive 1st Place at the Best in Medium 2025 Art Awards for my work Clarity in Disguise — a poetic visual journey of light, illusion, and symbolism.

I am honored and deeply grateful to announce that my artwork Clarity in Disguise has been awarded 1st Place in the Digital Paintings / Digital Art category at the Best in Medium 2025 Art Awards, presented by Camelback Gallery.

This prestigious virtual exhibition featured 170 artworks from 17 countries across multiple categories. To see Clarity in Disguise recognized at the top of its category is a humbling and deeply meaningful moment in my journey as a visual artist.

About the Artwork

Clarity in Disguise unfolds in a realm where every glow seduces and misleads in equal measure. Inspired by the paradoxes of Alice in Wonderland, the scene is a surreal parlour of riddles and reflections:

Teacups radiate borrowed warmth, soothing unspoken doubts.
Layered hats brim with half-truths, casting comforting yet deceptive shadows.
Books glow mysteriously, solving riddles only to give rise to deeper enigmas.

The central figure—poised between observer and illusionist—meets our gaze not with answers, but with silent questions. In this theatre of suspended bulbs and shifting symbols, clarity does not reveal—it performs. And in its performance, it disguises.

This piece is part of my broader collection "The Luminous Abyss", a visual journey through the emotional dualities we carry—visibility and secrecy, strength and softness, memory and transformation.

A Word of Thanks

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the jurors and especially to Mrs. Kassandra Kaye, Founder and Managing Editor of Camelback Gallery, for this recognition and for offering a platform where digital and mixed media artists from around the world can be seen and celebrated.

I also extend heartfelt thanks to those who support my artistic path—from collectors and curators to fellow creatives and friends. Your belief in my work is the light that carries me forward.

Honored to receive the Ruby Award from Gallery Ring (Canada) for my work The Curtain Knows, part of The Luminous Abyss series.

Ruby Award & International Honors for The Luminous Abyss|

Annita Apostolidou Platis

I am deeply honored to share that my artwork The Curtain Knows, from the ongoing series The Luminous Abyss, has received the Ruby Award in the RED 2025 International Juried Contest, organized by Gallery Ring in Ontario, Canada. This recognition, known for celebrating originality, composition, and emotional power, represents a significant milestone in my artistic journey.

About The Curtain Knows

The Curtain Knows is a meditation on the delicate balance between revelation and concealment. Beneath the striped grandeur of a circus-tent crown, the central figure stands as both ringmaster and secret-keeper. Lamps and parasols become silent witnesses, their light uncovering fleeting truths while guarding what remains hidden.

The work reflects the emotional tension between light and darkness, a central theme across The Luminous Abyss. Chandeliers, lampshades, and glowing bulbs are more than decorative details — they act as portals into the soul’s hidden architecture, bridging retro opulence with timeless human vulnerability.

Significance of the Ruby Award

Being recognized with the Ruby Award by Gallery Ring is not only an honor but also a validation of the symbolic language and emotional depth I strive to cultivate in my practice. The award highlights The Curtain Knows for its strong visual presence, originality, and symbolic resonance. Featured in the 3D Rotation Gallery and the official Winners Video, the piece stands among selected works celebrated for their evocative power and technical mastery.

Continuing the Journey of The Luminous Abyss

The year 2025 has brought multiple international distinctions for The Luminous Abyss, affirming its resonance across borders and institutions. Alongside the Ruby Award for The Curtain Knows, the series was also recognized with the Ruby Artist of the Month for The Oracle of Opaline Brass (Gallery Ring, Canada), the Creative Excellence Award for She Who Glows in the Dark (Circle Foundation for the Arts, France), and the Artist of the Month for The Light Dwells in Shadows (Camelback Gallery, USA).

Together, these awards confirm The Luminous Abyss as a cornerstone of my evolving practice — a dreamlike theatre where memory, identity, and symbolism converge into luminous form.

Golden Trio Award | Gallery Ring | PEOPLE May 2025 | Annita Apostolidou Platis

Thrilled to announce that my series The Era Clockmakers received the Golden Trio Award in Gallery Ring’s PEOPLE Exhibition (May 2025), honoring portraits that blend mythology, innovation, and the timeless quest to reshape time.

Thrilled to announce that I’ve been awarded the Golden Trio Award by Gallery Ring in their May 2025 PEOPLE exhibition.

My series The Era Clockmakers — featuring Clockwork Couturiere, The Elemental Forger, and The Quantum Alchemist — explores the intersection of mythology, innovation, and the human drive to shape time itself.

“Through my series The Era Clockmakers, I explore the timeless interplay between mythology, innovation and human purpose. Each portrait is a symbolic tribute to visionary figures — guardians, inventors and seekers — who navigate fractured realities and re engineer time as a force for transformation. These characters exist between eras, where ancient knowledge converges with imagined futures. In Clockwork Couturiere, time itself becomes fashion, stitched into elegance and memory. The Elemental Forger channels ancestral strength and future vision, forging harmony between cultural heritage and technological power. The Quantum Alchemist stands at the threshold of magic and science, embodying the quest for truth across dimensions. My intention is to honor those who walk alone yet move history forward — visionaries shaping tomorrow not with certainty but with courage. This collection is a call to re-imagine time as both myth and mechanism, driven by the deep belief that every moment can be remade.” — ANNITA APOSTOLIDOU PLATIS

Legends – The Code: The Alchemy of Myth and Modernity | Solo Exhibition by Annita Apostolidou Platis

Honored to present my solo exhibition Legends – The Code: The Alchemy of Myth and Modernity, curated by Sfumato Art Creatives (New York)—a collection of acrylic and digital collage works exploring myth, femininity, and sacred transformation.

Legends – The Code: The Alchemy of Myth and Modernity

Presented by Sfumato Art Creatives, New York

I am truly honored to unveil my solo exhibition “Legends – The Code” in collaboration with the visionary team at Sfumato Art Creatives. This exhibition invites viewers into a mythic realm where ancient symbolism merges with the modern female psyche—transcending time and medium.

Curated as part of Sfumato’s commitment to showcasing bold, narrative-driven contemporary art, Legends – The Code explores femininity through a series of deeply textured acrylic and digital collage works. Each piece emerges from a black canvas—a symbolic void—transformed into a radiant space of rebirth, resilience, and sacred transformation.

The exhibition speaks to the collective mythology of womanhood. Figures draped in symbolic fabrics and adorned with mythic codes embody a spectrum of archetypes: the warrior, the healer, the oracle. My visual language—rich in crimson, gold, and oceanic hues—draws from the spiritual, the sartorial, and the subconscious.

Art, for me, is an alchemical act. It’s where personal memory, myth, and the sacred feminine meet. Through techniques that blend fine art with fashion and esoteric symbolism, I aim to create spaces that do not just depict stories—but awaken them.

I invite you to experience the full virtual exhibition on Sfumato’s website:🔗 Visit the Exhibition

Stay tuned for the upcoming release of the official exhibition catalog.

With gratitude and light,

Laurel Award at the Living & Breathing Animal Art Contest by Gallery 4%

Honored to receive the Laurel Award at Gallery 4%’s Living & Breathing Animal Art Contest (San Francisco, April 2025) for three works from The Era Clockmakers series—visionary portraits exploring myth, animal guardianship, and the symbolic power of time.

🕰 Celebrating a New Recognition

I am honored and excited to share a new milestone in my artistic journey: my artworks Chronomancer, Keeper of Eternal Wisdom, and The Terra Machinist from The Era Clockmakers collection have been awarded the Laurel Award at the Living & Breathing – Animal Art Contest, hosted by Gallery 4% in San Francisco, California (April 2025).

The Living & Breathing contest celebrates the profound relationship between art and the animal world, welcoming imaginative interpretations of the creatures that inspire us. My three featured works offer a visionary exploration of elemental forces—air, water, and earth—through surreal, steampunk-inspired animal guardians. Α part of a series that honors those who bravely mend fractured moments, ensuring every second moves toward a better tomorrow.

🔧 Purpose of The Era Clockmakers Collection

This series pays tribute to solitary visionaries—those whose journeys may unfold in quiet resilience, yet serve a greater collective purpose. These figures, part myth and part machine, represent those who bravely mend fractured moments in time, ensuring each second progresses toward a more conscious, harmonious future.

The Era Clockmakers is more than a collection—it’s a metaphorical journey. It’s a visual call to action, asking us to recognize time not as something fleeting, but as a mosaic of meaningful moments we can define, preserve, and elevate.

Through symbolic guardians and mechanical elegance, the series invites viewers to reflect, transform, and reclaim the narrative of time in their own lives.

🏆 About the Award

Receiving the Laurel Award is especially meaningful, as it ensures these three works will remain in permanent virtual display on the Gallery 4% platform. It’s a lasting testament to the narrative depth and artistic intention of this collection.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to the curators and judges at Gallery 4% for this recognition and for providing a supportive platform that uplifts international contemporary voices.

In response to this colorful challenge, I submitted "Azure Renewal" and "Promises," each embracing and embodying the theme through their distinct palettes and thematic depth. "Azure Renewal" captures the serene and vibrant blues, yellows and golds, symbolizing the fresh and awakening qualities of spring. Conversely, "Promises" uses a lively mix of reds, cherry, dusty pink and gold, portraying the energy and renewal that the spring season brings.

Annita Apostolidou Platis Wins Masterful Mind Award | CFA Artist of the Year 2024-2025

Thrilled to announce that my artwork “Juno” from the Links collection has been awarded the Masterful Mind Award by the Circle Foundation for the Arts in Lyon, France, as part of their Artist of the Year 2024–2025 program.

I am elated to share that my artwork "Juno" has been honored with the Masterful Mind Award as part of the 6th International Artist of the Year 2024-2025 by the Circle Foundation for the Arts in Lyon, France. This prestigious recognition celebrates the remarkable aesthetic and emotional depth of my art amidst fierce competition with over 500 artists from around the world, each bringing diverse styles and media to the forefront.

"Juno" is a key piece in my "Links" collection, which delves into the rich intersections of mythology and nature. This artwork focuses on Hera, the goddess of light and marriage, and her legendary golden fruits, which were guarded in a mystical garden and bestowed upon humanity. Each artwork in the 'Links' collection intricately layers female portraits with elements derived from nature, mythology, and history, creating a vibrant dialogue between my inner world and the universal stories that have captivated humanity through the ages.

This award is a testament to the universal resonance of our shared myths and the power of art to encapsulate and celebrate the sacredness of the natural world. Join me in celebrating this achievement and explore more about "Juno" and the "Links" collection on my website, where each creation tells a story of celestial wonder and earthly delight.

Thank you to the Circle Foundation for this honor and to all my supporters who journey with me through art and creativity.
