Creative Excellence Award | Annita Apostolidou Platis – Circle Foundation for the Arts

I am deeply honored to share that my digital collage, “She Who Glows in the Dark,” has been awarded the Creative Excellence Award in the 10th International Artist of the Month Contest hosted by the Circle Foundation for the Arts (CFA).

This global competition, celebrated for spotlighting innovation and contemporary vision in fine art, recognizes works that distinguish themselves through exceptional creativity, originality, and conceptual strength. With submissions arriving from a wide spectrum of mediums and styles, it's deeply humbling to have this piece resonate with the jury on such a profound level.

“She Who Glows in the Dark” is part of my ongoing series, The Luminous Abyss—a visual exploration of the tension between shadow and illumination, fear and resilience, memory and myth. This particular work speaks to the quiet, unwavering strength of feminine identity, glowing even in the unseen corners of existence.

The Creative Excellence Award is presented to works that push artistic boundaries, defy convention, and illuminate the unexpected. It celebrates vision-driven pieces that feel ahead of their time, offering unique insight into the evolving language of contemporary art.

Being selected for this honor encourages me to continue weaving bold storytelling with symbolic visual language—blending mixed media and digital collage into emotive narratives. I remain grateful to the CFA team and to all those who support this journey of light and shadow.

Thank you for witnessing the glow. ✨
