Emerald Artist of the Year | Gallery Ring | Annita Apostolidou Platis

Honored to be named Emerald Artist of the Year 2025 by Gallery Ring, this journal entry reflects on artistic vision, color as narrative, and the quiet power of sustained creative dialogue.

Being named Emerald Artist of the Year 2025 by Gallery Ring is an honor I receive with deep gratitude and quiet reflection. This distinction marks a meaningful moment within my artistic journey — one that recognizes not only a single artwork, but a sustained dialogue between concept, color, symbolism, and emotional depth.

Gallery Ring’s Artists of the Year program celebrates artists whose work demonstrates clarity of vision, consistency of voice, and a strong symbolic language across their practice. To be included among this year’s honorees is both humbling and affirming, especially within such a diverse and international artistic community.

The artwork presented in this context comes from my ongoing series When Color Knows the Script, where color is not treated as an aesthetic choice alone, but as a narrative force. In this body of work, color carries memory, emotion, and intention, guiding the story before form or object takes shape. The awarded work, Between Yes and No, explores the suspended moment before a decision is made: a threshold where certainty dissolves and inner truth quietly emerges.

This recognition arrives as part of Gallery Ring’s annual Artists of the Year 2025 presentation, which honors four artists across different distinctions : Ruby, Crystal, Sapphire, and Emerald. The Emerald title accompanies my name in future Gallery Ring features and acknowledges a body of work that balances visual refinement with conceptual resonance.

What makes this award especially meaningful is Gallery Ring’s continued commitment to thoughtful curation, long-term visibility, and genuine support of artists beyond a single exhibition cycle. The Emerald Artist of the Year distinction includes a forthcoming interview and special feature to be presented during 2026, extending the conversation around the work and its themes.

Art, for me, is not about spectacle. It is about presence. It is about listening to material, to memory, to silence. This recognition feels less like a culmination and more like a continuation: an invitation to deepen the work, to remain attentive, and to move forward with care and integrity.

I extend my sincere thanks to the Gallery Ring team for their vision, professionalism, and dedication to creating meaningful platforms for artists worldwide. To be part of this year’s Artists of the Year is an honor I carry with respect and gratitude.

Golden Trio Award – FLOWER 2026 | Gallery Ring | Rugs & Reverence series by Annita Apostolidou Platis

Awarded the Golden Trio Award at Gallery Ring’s FLOWER 2026 exhibition, Annita Apostolidou Platis presents Remnant, Veil, and Sanctum from her Rugs & Reverence series — works that explore memory, devotion, and cultural continuity through symbolic objects and floral forms.

What a luminous way to begin the new year,

surrounded by gratitude, recognition, and creative intention.

I am deeply honored to receive the Golden Trio Award from Gallery Ring in the FLOWER International Juried Exhibition 2026 for my artworks Remnant, Veil, and Sanctum, from the ongoing series Rugs & Reverence.

This special and rare award is reserved for artists who demonstrate exemplary skill, creativity, and originality across three artworks within a single submission — a recognition that celebrates both artistic consistency and conceptual depth.

My work invites the viewer to see art objects, vintage accessories, and statement garments not as surface decoration, but as a living archive — where heritage, care, and reverence continue to unfold. Floral forms and handcrafted elements become symbolic vessels, carrying personal memory and cultural continuity across time.

The series Rugs & Reverence is structured around two interconnected realms: Creatures of Memory and Objects of Devotion.
The awarded works belong to the Objects of Devotion section, where heirloom references, botanical symbolism, and historic textile influences converge to create quiet altars of remembrance.

Drawing from ancient rugs, historic fabrics, and ornamental traditions, each piece is composed as a quiet act of preservation. Through digital artistry, these objects are reimagined while honoring their ceremonial presence. They are not simply decorative forms, but reflections on what is carried, tended, and remembered.

I extend my sincere gratitude to Gallery Ring for this meaningful recognition and for their continued support of artists worldwide.

1st Place – Diamond Snowflake Award | Gallery Ring | Holiday Advent Show

A moment of recognition and reflection — The Nutcracker’s Muse receives the 1st Place Diamond Snowflake Award at Gallery Ring’s Holiday Advent Show 2025, marking a meaningful milestone in an ongoing artistic journey.

A beautiful closing to the year

I am deeply honored to share that The Nutcracker’s Muse has been awarded 1st Place – Diamond Snowflake Award at Gallery Ring’s Holiday Advent Show 2025, following its selection as the Official Artwork for December 24.

This recognition marks a meaningful moment within my ongoing artistic journey. The Holiday Advent Show celebrates creative expression through a curated, international platform, and I am grateful for the thoughtful way this work was received and presented.

The Nutcracker’s Muse reflects an inner landscape of memory, ritual, and quiet symbolism — a meditation on winter, reflection, and the unseen narratives that shape us. The piece belongs to my ongoing exploration of seasonal mythologies, where emotion and symbolism intertwine to form a visual language of stillness and depth.

I am thankful to Gallery Ring for the opportunity to be part of this inspiring initiative and for their continued support of artists worldwide.

1st Place – Diamond Snowflake Award | Gallery Ring | December 2025

The Nutcracker’s Muse, part of The Seasons – Special Edition, receives the 1st Place Diamond Snowflake Award at Gallery Ring. A contemplative winter artwork exploring memory, symbolism, and inner reflection.

I am deeply honored to receive the 1st Place – Diamond Snowflake Award at Gallery Ring – The Holiday Advent Show for my artwork “The Nutcracker’s Muse.”

December is especially meaningful to me. A month woven with memories, dreams, hopes, plans, goals, and lived moments. It carries the emotional weight of reflection and renewal—of looking back while quietly envisioning what lies ahead.

The Nutcracker’s Muse is my winter artistic creation from “The Seasons – Special Edition”, a collection that explores each season as a living mythos—a space where personal memory and cultural ritual converge. In this work, winter is not presented merely as a time of cold and stillness, but as an interior landscape, where imagination, nostalgia, and symbolism quietly commune.

Here, I reinterpret the iconic Nutcracker figure not as the central hero of the familiar play, but as a guardian spirit. An emblem of vigilance, tradition, and childhood wonder, poised above the mind of his muse. The central figure, serene yet intensely present, embodies the contemplative nature of the season. Her face becomes a vessel of quiet storytelling: ornamental glasses shaped as porcelain and an owl invite the viewer to look beyond surface beauty into layered inner worlds. The porcelain speaks to the past and inherited memory, while the owl symbolizes wisdom, inner strength, protection, and guidance.

Surrounding her is a constellation of winter’s symbolic language: framed ornaments, golden bells, mistletoe, and heirloom-like decorations that hover between memory and dream. These elements echo the cherished objects that resurface during winter rituals—tokens revisited year after year, each holding fragments of emotional history.

For me, winter is a season of introspection. Its stillness allows intuition to rise, offering space for the stories we carry from childhood to resurface and gently reshape themselves. The Nutcracker’s Muse reflects this inward journey—honoring the delicate interplay between remembrance and reinvention, and the quiet magic that lives in the spaces between light and shadow.

Grateful.

With this artwork, I wish you Happy Holidays filled with health and light.

With Gratitude

My heartfelt thanks to the Gallery Ring team for their vision, professionalism, and continued dedication to supporting artists worldwide. Being recognized within such an inspiring international artistic community is truly meaningful, and I am grateful for the care and intention behind The Holiday Advent Show.

This award marks a moment of reflection and affirmation—one that I carry forward with deep appreciation.

Crystal Award | Gallery Ring COLOUR Exhibition | December 2025

Proud to receive the Crystal Award for The Sweetness of Control in Gallery Ring’s COLOUR Exhibition 2025, with two more works honored as Finalists.

I am honored to share that my artwork The Sweetness of Control has been awarded the CRYSTAL AWARD in the COLOUR International Juried Exhibition by Gallery Ring (December 2025).

This distinction celebrates artworks that demonstrate clarity of vision, strong aesthetic cohesion, and compelling use of color. I am deeply grateful for this recognition among so many remarkable international submissions.

About the Awarded Artwork — The Sweetness of Control

The Sweetness of Control is a meditation on elegance as architecture and nostalgia as a quietly commanding force.

Balancing a richly embroidered umbrella adorned with vintage teacups, teapots, and golden spoons, the central figure becomes the embodiment of restraint veiled in ritual. Porcelain and gold hover around her like delicate weapons of etiquette—chosen, placed, and never accidental. Each object functions as both ornament and intention, transforming a familiar moment of tea into a stage of subtle dominance. The refined palette of vintage reds, warm golds, and porcelain blues evokes the ceremonial grace of tradition—where gentleness disguises precision, and tenderness masks control. In this surreal domestic theatre, there is no sugar—only the suggestion of sweetness. Tea time becomes less an indulgence and more a choreography of gesture, grace, and hidden power.

To serve is not to surrender—it is to orchestrate.

Additional Recognitions — COLOUR 2025

Two additional artworks from When Color Knows the Script were honored as Finalists in the same exhibition:

What Falls in Velvet Silence
Whispers and Voices

These distinctions further affirm the narrative, symbolic depth, and evolving international presence of the series.

Gallery Ring · ANIMAL International Juried Exhibition 2025

I am deeply honored to receive the Ruby Award, one of Gallery Ring’s most distinguished recognitions, for my artwork The Ornament of Dawn from the series Rugs & Reverence.

About the Artwork

The Ornament of Dawn captures a moment where light, memory, and heritage converge.
Crimson and gold rise like morning fire on the horse’s face, while floral arabesques and geometric tracings echo the timeless language of woven traditions. In this piece, the horse becomes a living emblem of endurance, beauty, and devotion — a quiet prayer in motion.

Crystal Award — The Sapphire Whisper |November 2025| Gallery Ring, Canada

Awarded the Crystal Award at Gallery Ring’s ANIMAL 2025 Exhibition for The Sapphire Whisper, a work exploring indigo light, sacred geometry, and symbolic quietude.

Gallery Ring · ANIMAL International Juried Exhibition 2025

Honored to receive the Crystal Award for my artwork The Sapphire Whisper, presented as part of the ANIMAL International Juried Exhibition 2025 by Gallery Ring.

About the Artwork

The Sapphire Whisper is an ode to serenity.
Bathed in indigo light, the Arabian horse becomes a symbol of inner stillness and sacred geometry. The blue ornamental tracings evoke the woven artistry of ancient carpets, while a single gemstone reflects the quiet illumination of faith and memory.
It is the whisper of the Silk Road — where movement and myth once intertwined.

About the Series

Part of Rugs & Reverence, this work continues my exploration of animals as carriers of ancestral wisdom.
Through digital illumination and textile-inspired aesthetics, the series investigates how ornament becomes language and how pattern becomes pulse.

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.

Artist of the Month – May 2025 | Annita Apostolidou Platis | Camelback Gallery

Honored to be named Artist of the Month – May 2025 by Camelback Gallery for my artwork The Light Dwells in Shadows, a digital collage exploring identity, resilience, and the symbolic glow of light within shadow.

🌟 I’m honored to be selected as Artist of the Month – May 2025 by Camelback Gallery! 🌟

My artwork “The Light Dwells in Shadows” was chosen as one of this month’s featured pieces in their international juried showcase.

This mixed media digital collage is a visual meditation on identity, resilience, and the quiet power of introspection.

A reminder that the most powerful glow often comes from within.

I’m truly grateful to the Camelback Gallery team for this recognition, and send my congratulations to all the incredible artists featured this month.

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,

Honored to receive a Distinction Award for Aqua Chrono Guard at Gallery 4%’s Anything & Everything 5 exhibition in San Francisco. This artwork, part of The Era Clockmakers series, symbolizes balance through myth, water, and time.

I’m honored to have received a Distinction Award for my artwork “Aqua Chrono Guard” in the international juried exhibition Anything & Everything 5, presented by Gallery 4% (San Francisco, USA).

Aqua Chrono Guard, part of my Era Clockmakers series, explores the power of myth, intuition, and water as symbolic forces of transformation. This guardian figure represents balance — mastering time and emotion through stillness, symbolism, and surreal precision.

Deep thanks to the jury and curators for this recognition and for providing such a thoughtful platform for visionary art.

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.
