The Voyage — Teravarna Halloween Art Challenge 2025

The Voyage. Inspired by John William Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott (1888), reimagined as The Voyage, where the Lady awakens into the otherworld, guided by spectral light and memory. Concept & Artwork by Annita Apostolidou Platis.

The Voyage

Inspired by John William Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott (1888), reimagined as The Voyage, where the Lady awakens into the otherworld, guided by spectral light and memory.

Concept & Artwork: Annita Apostolidou Platis
Medium: Mixed Media Digital Collage (2025)

In this haunting reinterpretation, she is no longer a tragic figure but a voyager between worlds.
Her boat, veiled in a Persian tapestry of black and gold, becomes her vessel between realms — gliding through mist and candlelight.

Candles and carved pumpkin lanterns illuminate the fog, while sculpted golden eyes descend from above, divine witnesses to her rebirth.
Above her, two Persian rugs drift like celestial veils, guardians of memory and fate.

In her hands, a small cage glows with the presence of a black cat, guiding her beyond the veil.
The forest hums with fireflies, and light itself bends between dusk and dawn.

Myth and mortality. A journey from silence to eternal sight.

 

Artist Insight – “The Lady of Shalott” → “The Voyage”

In John William Waterhouse’s 1888 masterpiece, The Lady of Shalott drifts toward Camelot in the moment of her death — the curse fulfilled, her voice fading into legend.
In my reimagined version, she does not die. She awakens.
The river becomes the threshold between worlds, the fog her veil of rebirth.
The woven tapestry that once imprisoned her transforms into a sacred vessel of transcendence.
Candles, golden eyes, and a black cat as her silent familiar guide her through the in-between — no longer the doomed maiden, but The Voyage, seer of her own destiny.
This work continues her story beyond the tragedy, allowing her spirit to cross into myth and memory — where silence becomes vision, and the curse becomes illumination.

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.

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,

Annita Apostolidou Platis

Silver Award for “Bloomora” at FLOWER POWER 2025 – A Celebration of Spring and Artistic Renewal

Honored to receive the Silver Award at Camelback Gallery’s FLOWER POWER 2025 exhibition (Arizona, USA) for my artwork Bloomora from The Seasons – Special Edition, celebrating spring’s renewal and poetic bloom.

Silver Award for “Bloomora” | FLOWER POWER 2025 | Camelback Gallery | Arizona, US – Annita Apostolidou Platis

I am honored to share that my artwork “Bloomora” from The Seasons – Special Edition has received a Silver Award at the FLOWER POWER 2025 Art Awards, hosted by Camelback Gallery in Arizona, USA. This prestigious juried exhibition includes artists from 14 countries, and I’m grateful to represent Greece among such powerful voices in contemporary art.

“Bloomora” is a visual and poetic embodiment of the spring season.

Crowned in wild florals, Bloomora radiates with color, vitality, and deep reverence for the natural world. She embodies the spirit of spring in full flourish—a celebration of untamed elegance and the joyful force of renewal. Inspired by the fusion of “bloom” and the poetic suffix “-ora,” the name itself becomes a tribute to nature’s bloom and poetic power.

The award was juried by Sesse Lind, Holly Cannon, and Marie McCallum, with artworks selected based on theme interpretation, quality, and technical skill.

“Bloomora” reflects the spirit of Spring—its delicate renewal, emotional depth, and timeless bloom—through layered symbolism and mixed media collage.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Camelback Gallery team and the jurors—Sesse Lind, Holly Cannon, and Marie McCallum for their continued support of contemporary artists and for offering platforms that truly spotlight the creative voice.

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.

The Artistic Challenge: A Celebration of Colors

The Colors 2025 International Online Art Exhibition, hosted by Fusion Art, challenged artists to explore and express the theme of color in dynamic and innovative ways.

This theme set the stage for a display of diverse artistic interpretations and the use of color as a powerful means of expression.


My Artistic Response

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. These artworks not only adhered to the competition's criteria but also aimed to evoke emotional responses through the strategic use of colors.

The focus on color was not just a guideline but a canvas for creativity, allowing each artist to convey stories and sentiments through chromatic richness. This approach brought out some of the most imaginative and visually captivating pieces in the exhibition, making it a truly spectacular showcase of how colors can define and elevate art.
