Life’s Fleeting Beauty: My Dual Role at The Spring International Art Exhibition

Annita Apostolidou Platis joins The Spring International Art Exhibition in Barcelona as both curator and artist, presenting The Gift (The One Who Holds The Elixir)—a tribute to life’s fleeting beauty and the symbolism of cherry blossoms.

BCAF - Barcelona, Spain

"Through my work, I invite viewers to contemplate the cycle of life, a theme celebrated by the ancients and deeply embedded in Japanese tradition. The delicate petals of the cherry blossom, embodying both birth and death, serve as a poignant reminder of the ephemeral moments we share, urging us to cherish every fleeting instant." Annita Apostolidou Platis

I'm thrilled to both curate and participate in The Spring International Art Exhibition, showcasing my work alongside outstanding global artists. My artwork, "The Gift (The One Who Holds The Elixir)," reflects on life's fleeting beauty through the lens of Japanese tradition, where the delicate cherry blossom symbolizes the ephemeral nature of existence. A heartfelt thank you to the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation for this wonderful collaboration.

"Embracing the Spectrum of Spring"

In her curatorial essay “Embracing the Spectrum of Spring” for the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation, Annita Apostolidou Platis reflects on the season’s paradoxical nature—celebrating renewal while exploring deeper layers of melancholy, myth, and cultural memory.

article by Annita Apostolidou Platis

"In this collaborative exploration with the BCAF, I delve into the profound dualities of spring—a season as paradoxical as it is inspiring. As both curator and contributor, I guide readers through the emotional and symbolic spectrum that spring invokes. Synonymous with renewal and joy, spring also stirs deep sentimentality and introspective sadness. Through the lens of iconic cultural artifacts like Ella Fitzgerald's 'Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most' and Mary Oliver’s 'Spring Azures,' this article delves into the season's complex emotions. It also examines mythological figures such as Persephone and Konohanasakuya-hime, unveiling the cyclical interplay of life and death that defines spring. Let's uncover the nuanced layers of rebirth and reflection that spring inspires in art and culture."

“Unbounded Grace: My Artistic Journey Towards Self-Mastery”

In Unbounded Grace, I share reflections on my personal and artistic evolution—embracing change, continual growth, and the fearless pursuit of self-mastery.

Reflecting on my journey, I embrace change with unyielding grace and style. Unique in my approach, I stride forward without hesitation, acknowledging my past yet never ensnared by it. I am committed to continual learning, focusing diligently to evolve into the best version of myself. In this artistic endeavor, there are no bounds—only continuous evolution and the bold expression of my singular vision.

“Απεριόριστη Χάρη: Το Καλλιτεχνικό Μου Ταξίδι Προς Την Αυτοκυριαρχία”

Αντανακλώντας το ταξίδι μου, αγκαλιάζω κάθε αλλαγή με ανυποχώρητη χάρη και στυλ. Μοναδικό ως προς τη προσέγγισή μου, προχωράω μπροστά χωρίς δισταγμό, αναγνωρίζοντας το παρελθόν μου, που όμως δεν άφησα ποτέ τον εαυτό μου να παγιδευτεί μέσα σε αυτό. Είμαι αφοσιωμένη στη συνεχή μάθηση, εστιάζοντας επιμελώς για να εξελιχθώ στην καλύτερη έκδοση του εαυτού μου. Σε αυτή την καλλιτεχνική προσπάθεια, δεν υπάρχουν όρια—μόνο η συνεχής εξέλιξη και η τολμηρή έκφραση του μοναδικού οράματός μου.

“Capturing Tales in Time”

In Capturing Tales in Time, I reflect on photography as storytelling—where each image captures me first, before becoming a timeless narrative.

Each captured moment feels like it first captures me, whispering its unique tale.

As an artist and a storyteller, my photographs are more than images;

they are moments transformed into enduring stories. - Annita A.

Annita A. à Dalí Cibernètic

My visit to Dalí Cibernètic in Thessaloniki was a transformative journey through Salvador Dalí’s surreal universe, reimagined with VR, holograms, and immersive technology.

“As a female artist deeply inspired by Salvador Dalí, my recent visit to ‘Dalí Cybernetic - Immersive Experience- Dalí Enters the Metaverse’ in Thessaloniki was transformative.

This immersive experience melded Dalí’s surreal art with cutting-edge technology like VR and holograms, offering a new perspective on his genius. It was a journey through art and science, igniting my own creative passions in profound ways.” Annita A.

"Abstract art needs mastery in color and poetic brushstrokes”

Abstract art speaks through color and poetic brushstrokes. Featuring “Shades” from my Words collection, this reflection explores how abstraction conveys emotions unbound by form.

As an artist, I staunchly believe that abstract art demands a mastery over color and poetic brush strokes. These elements are not just tools but the very language through which abstract art speaks, conveying emotions and thoughts unbound by form. Mastery in color usage and the eloquence of each stroke transform abstract pieces into profound expressions of human experience.

This photo features "Shades," an artwork from my "Words" collection.

Ως καλλιτέχνιδα, πιστεύω ακράδαντα ότι η αφηρημένη τέχνη απαιτεί μια κυριαρχία πάνω στο χρώμα και ποιητικές πινελιές. Αυτά τα στοιχεία δεν είναι μόνο εργαλεία αλλά η ίδια η γλώσσα μέσω της οποίας μιλάει η αφηρημένη τέχνη, μεταφέροντας συναισθήματα και σκέψεις που δεν δεσμεύονται από τη μορφή. Η άριστη γνώση της χρήσης των χρωμάτων και η «ευγλωττία» κάθε πινελιάς μετατρέπουν αφηρημένα κομμάτια σε βαθιές εκφράσεις της ανθρώπινης εμπειρίας.

The Woman

A poetic reflection on women as muses, creators, and beacons of life. Written by Annita Apostolidou Platis for International Women’s Day, highlighting empowerment, justice, and equality.

The Woman, muse and driving force of life, weaves the canvas of love, standing as the beacon of creation. Her patience and perseverance are inexhaustible. She is the one who should be celebrated every day.

In the journey towards the eradication of prejudices and barriers, we seek a world where respect and appreciation form the foundation for every woman. Today is not exactly a celebration, but a significant reminder. We highlight progress and, at the same time, challenges such as violence and abuse. We encourage solidarity, support for women seeking justice, accelerating their equality and leadership. Through empowering every woman, we pave the way for a better world, a world of equality and justice. Happy International Women’s Day.

Annita A.

Η Γυναίκα, μούσα και κινητήρια δύναμη της ζωής, υφαίνει τον καμβά της αγάπης, στέκεται ως ο φάρος της δημιουργίας. Η υπομονή και η επιμονή της ανεξάντλητες. Είναι εκείνη που πρέπει να γιορτάζει κάθε μέρα. Στην πορεία για την εξάλειψη προκαταλήψεων και εμποδίων, αναζητούμε έναν κόσμο όπου ο σεβασμός και η εκτίμηση αποτελούν το βάθρο για κάθε γυναίκα. Η σημερινή μέρα δεν είναι ακριβώς γιορτή, αλλά μια σημαντική υπενθύμιση. Επισημαίνουμε την πρόοδο και ταυτόχρονα τις προκλήσεις, όπως η βία και η κακοποίηση. Ενθαρρύνουμε την αλληλεγγύη, την υποστήριξη σε γυναίκες που ζητούν δικαιοσύνη, επιταχύνοντας την ισότητα και την ηγεσία τους. Μέσα από την ενδυνάμωση κάθε γυναίκας, ανοίγουμε δρόμους για έναν κόσμο καλύτερο, έναν κόσμο ισότητας και δικαιοσύνης. Καλή Παγκόσμια Ημέρα της Γυναίκας.

Color: An indispensable ally in my artistic creations

Color is more than visual—it’s emotional, cultural, and psychological. In my art, I harness contrasting tones to infuse energy and create captivating palettes that transform each piece into a vibrant dialogue.

Color is a powerful tool in the hands of an artist, and the use of color can have a profound impact on the emotions and perceptions of the viewer. This is because color can elicit a range of emotional responses and associations that are deeply rooted in our psychology and culture.

Colors are often associated with specific emotions and moods, and these associations can vary across cultures and individuals.

By blending contrasting tones I give energy and dynamism into my artworks.

Creating captivating color palettes is Art.

The artist.. An adventurer, a time traveler.

A painter is not just a creator but a traveler of time and imagination—an adventurer weaving emotions and experiences into visual stories. This is me, Annita A.

A painter can be seen as a traveler,

not in the literal sense of exploring new locations, but in the metaphorical journey through the realms of imagination, emotion, and expression. This concept frames the artist as an adventurer, a time traveler, navigating through the vast landscapes of the mind and the world, capturing and transforming these experiences into visual narratives.

This is me - Annita A.

Ένας ζωγράφος μπορεί να θεωρηθεί ως ταξιδιώτης, όχι με την κυριολεκτική έννοια της εξερεύνησης νέων τοποθεσιών, αλλά στο μεταφορικό ταξίδι μέσα από τα βασίλεια της φαντασίας, του συναισθήματος και της έκφρασης. Θα μπορούσε ο καλλιτέχνης να απεικονίζεται ως ένας λάτρης της περιπέτειας , ένας ταξιδιώτης του χρόνου, ο οποίος περιηγείται στα τεράστια τοπία του νου και του κόσμου, συλλαμβάνοντας και μετατρέποντας αυτές τις εμπειρίες σε οπτικές αφηγήσεις.

Studying Fashion is

Fashion goes round in circles. Annita Apostolidou Platis shares how her studies in Milan shaped her artistic vision, blending heritage, couture, and innovation into a timeless dialogue of culture and identity.

Studying fashion offers a comprehensive understanding of the art and science of clothing, from its historical roots to its impact on society and the environment.

Fashion is not merely about garments—it is a cultural narrative, a mirror of identity, and a timeless dialogue between creativity and society. Fashion goes round in circles, yet each return brings with it new layers of meaning, reinterpretation, and innovation.

My own journey began in Athens and later unfolded in Milan, where I studied fashion and jewelry design at the prestigious Marangoni Institute. This experience provided me with both a rigorous foundation in haute couture craftsmanship and a vision of fashion as an evolving art form. Fashion, for me, was never just about fabric or ornament—it was about weaving together heritage, innovation, and storytelling.

Over time, my practice expanded into painting, poetry, and curatorial writing. Yet fashion remained at the core of my artistic DNA, informing my understanding of structure, detail, and aesthetic harmony. Just as a gown requires balance between silhouette and texture, my artworks demand the same dialogue between form and emotion.

In today’s world, fashion continues to reinvent itself. Sustainability, diversity, and technology reshape its boundaries, ensuring its relevance in both artistic and social contexts. For me, fashion is a language—one that communicates elegance, resilience, and transformation. It is a cycle of rebirth that, much like art itself, connects the past to the present while gesturing toward the future.

Fashion goes round in circles…

This is me.

My Art is a Study

Art is my world. In this reflective piece, Annita Apostolidou Platis shares how studying art enriches her life and deepens her understanding of humanity and creativity.

I read. I learn. I am attentive to details. I observe.

I always remember what is important.

For me, art is not simply creation—it is an ongoing study of the human condition, a dialogue between inner reflection and outer expression. Studying art enriches one’s understanding of humanity and the diversity of voices that shape our cultural heritage.

Each brushstroke, each collage, each poetic line becomes part of this study. It is a way of seeing the world more deeply, of noticing the overlooked, and of transforming fleeting impressions into lasting stories.

Art is my world, my greatest teacher, and my constant companion. It teaches me resilience, patience, and the beauty of detail.

This is me.
