“Lady and Knight of Art” 2025 Honoring Artistic and Cultural Contribution

Annita Apostolidou Platis is honored with the Lady and Knight of Art Award 2025 from Fondazione Costanza, Italy, for her artistic and cultural contribution and her acclaimed series The Era Clockmakers.

Fondazione Costanza, Carini, Palermo, Italy

In July 2025, I was deeply honored to receive the Lady and Knight of Art Award from Fondazione Costanza in recognition of my contribution to contemporary art and culture.

The award ceremony took place in Carini, Palermo, Italy, at the Oleificio Failla, in the presence of journalists, photographers, and cultural representatives. Presented by Dr. Alessandro Costanza, President of the Foundation, this distinction celebrates artists whose work reflects excellence, originality, and devotion to the advancement of art.

My series The Era Clockmakers was selected as the artistic focus for this honor — a body of work that explores time, memory, and creation as parallel dimensions within human experience.

The event reaffirmed my belief that art is a living bridge between heritage and innovation, uniting diverse voices under the timeless pursuit of beauty and truth.

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,

Annita Apostolidou Platis

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.
