Annita Apostolidou Platis
I am proud for being honored by the Accademia Italia in Arte Nel Mondo with the award "HERMES, il messaggero degli Dei".

The Academic committee that evaluated my artwork, which comes from projects already demonstrated in international exhibitions and art catalogues, stated that my artistic work meets a providential need of art history!
I would like to thank the Honorary Committee of the Accademia Italia Arte nel Mondo, who in collaboration with their art experts and analysts of the department of Art Theory and History of Art, they recognized my collection of artworks as the connection between ancient civilizations through the modern side of Art.

Foresight
From the Camouflage collection, “Foresight” reflects the harmony between myth, color, and spirit — inspired by Asian culture and the Japanese art of transformation. A visual ode to divine protection and intuitive power.
from my latest series Camouflage
Annita Apostolidou Platis
“Foresight” is my artwork inspired from Asian culture, myths and the Japanese art of makeup. Asian theatre generally includes the most sophisticated face painting designs in the world. Eyes scare away evil spirits. Red express the positive Yang. It is for protection from evil. White is closely linked to the spiritual world. Black is about fear. Transformational makeup can portray the supernatural. Face tattoos are for protection from bad spirits. Gold is the colour of the sun. “Foresight” painting symbolizes gods’ power and mercy. It shows the inner strength and the power to see beyond.

Serenity
Inspired by India’s symbolic colors, Serenity from the Camouflage collection reflects inner peace, calmness, and faith — a tribute to harmony and mindful transformation.
from my latest series Camouflage
Annita Apostolidou Platis
“Serenity” is my artwork inspired from India which is the country of symbolic colours. It is an expression of faith and beliefs. The symbolism of colour stands out and controls every aspect of life. Blue indicates a person with a stable mind. Gold is about trust and purity. “Serenity” painting symbolizes inner peace and calmness. As the ancient Ionian Greek philosopher Pythagoras said: Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform.

Anticipation
Inspired by African tribes and cultures, Anticipation from the Camouflage collection reflects renewal, unity, and spiritual awakening through the sacred symbolism of color and form.
from my latest series Camouflage
Annita Apostolidou Platis
“Anticipation” is my artwork inspired from African tribes and cultures. They believed that the hair ornaments and styles have a way to communicate with the Divine Being. All patterns and colours have meaning. Colours have significance throughout all cultures and speaks to our individual personalities and thinking, influencing our emotions and also affecting lives. The colour blue is associated with open spaces, freedom, signifies peace and unity. The colour green demonstrates renewal, purple symbolizes wisdom and black is power. “Anticipation” artwork has the meaning of new beginning, new life. It is all about spiritual energy.

Art Movement
An art movement represents a shared philosophy or visual language among artists within a specific time. Each movement captures a collective spirit of creativity, innovation, and purpose.
Annita Apostolidou Platis
An Art Movement is a tendency or style in Art with a specific common philosophy or goal. More specifically, Art Movements are the collective titles that are given to artworks which share the same artistic ideals, style, technical approach or timeframe.

Canvas Forms
From stretched canvases to portable pads and custom rolls, each canvas form serves a unique artistic purpose. Explore the options that best support your creative process.
Annita Apostolidou Platis
Canvases are available in various forms:
Canvas panels
Usually made from primed cotton. Keep in mind that they don’t age well, but they are good for practice.
Stretched Canvas
Using stretched canvas reduces the chances that your artwork will be damaged as it holds the canvas in tact, and the stretching is done by cutting-edge technology rather than by hand.
Canvas pads
Pads are sheets of primed canvas that are bound within a book. Ideal for creating while on the move, the sheets used in many pads can be stretched or mounted at a later date.
Similar to canvas panels, however, they don’t age as well and are therefore best for practice.
Canvas rolls
If you want to prepare and stretch your own canvas or to create a very large painting, canvas rolls are great. Made from either linen or cotton, they’re generally sold by the meter.

About Canvas & Art
From its ancient Greek origins to the Renaissance masters, canvas has long been the fabric of artistic legacy. Learn about its evolution and enduring role in art.
Annita Apostolidou Platis
Canvas is an extremely durable, plain-woven fabric. Usually made from cotton, linen or hemp, it’s popular as a painting surface when stretched across a wooden frame (called a ‘stretcher’) and coated with gesso to prevent the paint from coming into direct contact with the canvas fibres (which would eventually cause the canvas to decay).
The word "canvas" is derived from the 13th century Anglo-French canevaz and the Old French
canevas. Both may be derivatives of the Vulgar Latin cannapaceus for "made of hemp", originating
from the Greek κάνναβις (cannabis). Canvas has been used for Art since the early 14th Century,
and one of the earliest surviving oils on canvas is a French Madonna with Angels from around 1410.
It came into common usage in the 16th century during the Italian Renaissance.

The 7 different Forms of Art
From painting to theater, the seven forms of art reveal humanity’s endless creativity and the timeless dialogue between culture and emotion.
Annita Apostolidou Platis
The definition of Art is covering many unique forms of expression.
However, there are broadly 7 Forms of Art that fall into the common collective definition of “the Arts.” Painting, Sculpture, Literature, Architecture, Cinema, Music, Theater.
Recognizing each of the distinct Categories of Art is a way to help us understanding the role of the Arts in our lives and history.

“Shapes of brushes” by Annita A.
A closer look at the essential brush shapes every artist should know — round, square, filbert, and liner — each bringing its own personality to the canvas.
Annita Apostolidou Platis
There are several different types of paint brushes, and more specifically, different shapes.
You have round, square (bright), filbert, and script (line) brushes, some are exclusively for detail work, for edging or for blending.
Different paint brushes are a spice of life and will add a tremendous amount of flavor to all artworks!
"Small advices about Paint Brushes" by Annita A.
Practical advice for artists: how to select, maintain, and master your paint brushes to achieve the perfect effects in oil or acrylic painting.
Annita Apostolidou Platis
