Nothing Easy, Nothing Random: The Work Beneath the Glow
In Behind the Art: The Luminous Abyss, Annita Apostolidou Platis shares the process behind her mixed media digital collages—where myth, memory, and meticulous craft shape luminous works of symbolic storytelling.
By Annita Apostolidou Platis
Behind the Art: The Luminous Abyss | Mixed media digital collage process
Art doesn’t begin at the moment of creation. It begins long before—often in silence.
For me, it starts with study. With reading. With tracing the roots of mythology, decoding symbols from ancient psychology, and immersing myself in the language of archetypes. It begins with questions: What do we carry in our shadows, and what does the light reveal? What does an image mean—not just visually, but symbolically, culturally, and emotionally?
My work in The Luminous Abyss is not just digital collage—it’s excavation. It’s a layered visual narrative crafted through mixed media, myth, and memory. Each piece you see, glowing with color and symbol, is the result of sustained labor: research, sketching, erasing, building, and beginning again.
This is not instant art.
There are no filters that simulate intention.
No shortcuts that replace soul.
Before any digital composition takes form, there are pages of notes. There are failed drafts. Long walks with unanswered questions. I sketch not only with pencil, but with vision, emotion, and deep attention. Every element—whether acrylic stroke, scanned textile, photo fragment, or digital trace—is placed with purpose. Nothing is accidental. Even a lampshade holds a story. Even a shadow has a memory.
This is how I work: with process, with patience, with progression. I build my collages the way one builds a poem or a garment—layer by layer, symbol by symbol. It begins with hand-drawn ideas and evolves into complex, digital compositions that carry both image and meaning.
Mixed media digital collage is a demanding medium. It requires not only technical fluency, but also narrative instinct, visual literacy, and emotional endurance. What may appear “assembled” is in fact architected—a tension between texture and concept, where hundreds of micro-decisions quietly shape what the viewer finally sees.
When you look at one of my works, you’re not just seeing an image. You’re witnessing a process. You’re seeing the trace of revisions, the ghosts of deleted layers, the structure beneath the glow. You’re seeing a professional practice rooted in discipline and growth—vision shaped over years of artistic study, experimentation, and cross-disciplinary exploration.
True vision comes from within. It can’t be rushed. It can’t be reproduced. Art like this is earned—through thought, time, and soul.
The glow you see on screen? It’s built by hand, by mind, by memory.

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. Inspired by the metaphor of vintage lampshades—objects that diffuse light and conceal as much as they reveal—the figure embodies the duality between inner illumination and outward obscurity. 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.
