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.

In October 2024, I was honored to be included in the World Register of Artists, established by Fondazione Costanza in Palermo, Italy.
This distinction, accompanied by a Certificate of World Excellence, recognizes artists whose work demonstrates stylistic innovation, conceptual depth, and cultural contribution on an international scale.
My collection Links was selected for this honor — a body of work exploring the timeless dialogue between heritage, memory, and human connection through symbolic composition and refined visual narrative.
This inclusion reflects not only a professional milestone but also a celebration of the artistic spirit that bridges cultures and generations — affirming that art remains a universal language of unity and meaning.
Welcome to "Legends - the Code"
Welcome to “Legends – The Code,” a powerful art series by Annita Apostolidou Platis. Through ten mixed media digital collages and poems, mythological women are reimagined as symbols of strength, resilience, and timeless influence in today’s world.
New series of artworks by Annita Apostolidou Platis
"Welcome to "Legends – The Code," a series of ten mixed media digital collages that bridge the past with the present by weaving the tales of mythological women whose stories of strength, resilience, and power echo through the ages. Following my previous collection, "Links," which explored the connectivity between women, nature, mythology, and history, this new series delves deeper into the personas of legendary women who have shaped cultural narratives about femininity and fortitude.
Each artwork, accompanied by a poem, forms a narrative woven from the vibrant threads of ancient mythology, reimagined through a modern lens. As you engage with each piece, you are invited to decode the hidden messages embedded within the canvases, enriching your appreciation of these powerful narratives. This exploration is not merely an artistic journey but a cultural dialogue, enhancing our understanding of how these legendary figures continue to influence contemporary life.
Through this series, I aim to celebrate the legendary past while drawing meaningful parallels to the experiences of modern women, illustrating that the core of human experience remains constant even as contexts change."

"Bridging Worlds" The Interplay of Art and Poetry in My Creative Journey
In the final part of Bridging Worlds, Annita Apostolidou Platis reflects on the fusion of art and poetry—encouraging creators to embrace complexity, uncharted territories, and the transformative interplay of words and images.
Part 4.
“To anyone who feels drawn to both art and poetry, my advice is simple: embrace the complexity. Let your creative passions fuel one another, and don’t be afraid to let them lead you into uncharted territories. It is there, in the spaces between, that true artistry is born.” - Annita A.
Grateful for every moment of inspiration and for the opportunity to share these reflections through my work and collaborations, such as the upcoming Art Poetry Book, on October 30th.
This project has allowed me to once again merge the visual with the verbal, showcasing not just my own voice but also the collective voice of a diverse group of artists and poets brought together by the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation @barbagelatafoundation .
As we reach the conclusion of my statement, I encourage all aspiring and established creators to embrace the interplay of art and poetry in their own works. This journey of creation is as challenging as it is rewarding, and it is within these intricate blends that we find new ways to express the inexpressible. Continue to explore, create, and inspire. Thank you all, and stay tuned for the Art and Poetry Book which will be available on October 30th.

"Bridging Worlds" The Interplay of Art and Poetry in My Creative Journey
In Bridging Worlds – Part 3, Annita Apostolidou Platis reflects on vulnerability, openness, and the transformative dialogue between poetry and visual art—where each form informs and elevates the other.
Part 3.
“This artistic endeavor demands a vulnerability and openness to let inspiration flow freely, whether it be a line of poetry or a color palette. The challenge lies not only in the creation itself but in allowing these different expressions to inform and transform one another. It’s about letting the visual narrative influence the poetic and vice versa, crafting a richer story that neither could tell alone.” - Annita A.
Join me in the next part of our discussion as I share insights into the profound impacts these intertwined creative forms have on both the creator and the audience. The journey continues—stay tuned!

In Bridging Worlds – Part 2, Annita Apostolidou Platis explores how Legends – The Code became a dialogue between poetry and visual art—a delicate balance of harmony, contrast, and creative storytelling.
Part 2.
"In my latest series, Legends – The Code, I ventured deeper into this symbiotic relationship. The process was both exhilarating and challenging, requiring a delicate balance between the explicitness of poetry and the abstraction of visual art. It’s a dance of contrasts and harmonies where each piece does not just coexist but converses deeply with the other." - Annita A.

In Bridging Worlds – Part 1, Annita Apostolidou Platis shares how painting and poetry converge in her creative journey, forming a seamless dialogue of visual and verbal expression.
Part 1.
"As an artist who both paints and writes, I often find myself at the crossroads of visual and verbal expression. This dual journey is not merely about shifting between mediums; it’s about exploring how these forms can echo, reflect, and enhance each other. Each brushstroke and word stems from a place of deep inspiration, where emotions and images meld seamlessly into creations that transcend traditional boundaries."- Annita A.

A Season of Artistic Reflection
Annita Apostolidou Platis closes the Spring International Art Exhibition with gratitude and inspiration. Featuring her artwork The Gift, The One Who Holds The Elixir and honored with a Certificate of Artistic Merit, she reflects on impermanence, curatorial practice, and the collaborative spirit that shaped the event.
Closing Thoughts on the Spring International Art Exhibition
As the curtains close on the Spring International Art Exhibition at the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation, I find myself enveloped in a profound sense of gratitude and inspiration. This exhibition not only showcased diverse talents and perspectives but also provided me with a unique opportunity to engage with art in the dual roles of artist and curator.
The art piece "The Gift, The One Who Holds The Elixir," which featured in the exhibition, explores the delicate impermanence of beauty, captured through the ethereal symbolism of the cherry blossom. This theme resonated deeply with the audience, prompting reflections on the transient yet impactful moments that define our existence.
I am deeply honored to have been awarded the Certificate of Artistic Merit by the foundation. This accolade is not just a recognition of my individual contribution but also a testament to the collaborative spirit that animated this event. The foundation's feedback—"Your contributions significantly enriched the event, and your unwavering commitment to your artistry was vividly evident in your works"—is particularly gratifying. It reaffirms my dedication to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and engagement.
Behind the scenes, the journey was equally enriching. Working alongside a vibrant community of artists and thinkers, I was able to weave a narrative that extended beyond the visual and ventured into the experiential. From the initial concept to the final day of the exhibition, every step was a learning curve, steeped in the collective ethos of creative exploration.
As I reflect on these experiences, the recognition I received is not merely a personal achievement but a bridge to future artistic endeavors. It is a reminder of the responsibilities and possibilities that come with curatorial and artistic practices—of curating not just art but also curating life's ephemeral stories.
Looking forward, I am excited about the paths that now lay open. The interactions, insights, and inspirations from this exhibition will undoubtedly shape my future projects. I am eager to explore new horizons, continue my dialogues with fellow artists, and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of the global art community.
Thank you to everyone who visited, engaged with, and supported this exhibition. Your enthusiasm fuels the art we create and the stories we tell. Here's to continuing this beautiful journey together, with art as our shared language and exploration as our collective adventure. - Annita A.

"Embracing the Spectrum of Spring"
In her curatorial essay “Embracing the Spectrum of Spring” for the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation, Annita Apostolidou Platis reflects on the season’s paradoxical nature—celebrating renewal while exploring deeper layers of melancholy, myth, and cultural memory.
article by Annita Apostolidou Platis
"In this collaborative exploration with the BCAF, I delve into the profound dualities of spring—a season as paradoxical as it is inspiring. As both curator and contributor, I guide readers through the emotional and symbolic spectrum that spring invokes. Synonymous with renewal and joy, spring also stirs deep sentimentality and introspective sadness. Through the lens of iconic cultural artifacts like Ella Fitzgerald's 'Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most' and Mary Oliver’s 'Spring Azures,' this article delves into the season's complex emotions. It also examines mythological figures such as Persephone and Konohanasakuya-hime, unveiling the cyclical interplay of life and death that defines spring. Let's uncover the nuanced layers of rebirth and reflection that spring inspires in art and culture."

“Unbounded Grace: My Artistic Journey Towards Self-Mastery”
In Unbounded Grace, I share reflections on my personal and artistic evolution—embracing change, continual growth, and the fearless pursuit of self-mastery.
Reflecting on my journey, I embrace change with unyielding grace and style. Unique in my approach, I stride forward without hesitation, acknowledging my past yet never ensnared by it.

In this artistic endeavor, there are no bounds—only continuous evolution and the bold expression of my singular vision.
“Απεριόριστη Χάρη: Το Καλλιτεχνικό Μου Ταξίδι Προς Την Αυτοκυριαρχία”
Αντανακλώντας το ταξίδι μου, αγκαλιάζω κάθε αλλαγή με ανυποχώρητη χάρη και στυλ. Μοναδικό ως προς τη προσέγγισή μου, προχωράω μπροστά χωρίς δισταγμό, αναγνωρίζοντας το παρελθόν μου, που όμως δεν άφησα ποτέ τον εαυτό μου να παγιδευτεί μέσα σε αυτό. Είμαι αφοσιωμένη στη συνεχή μάθηση, εστιάζοντας επιμελώς για να εξελιχθώ στην καλύτερη έκδοση του εαυτού μου. Σε αυτή την καλλιτεχνική προσπάθεια, δεν υπάρχουν όρια—μόνο η συνεχής εξέλιξη και η τολμηρή έκφραση του μοναδικού οράματός μου.

“Capturing Tales in Time”
In Capturing Tales in Time, I reflect on photography as storytelling—where each image captures me first, before becoming a timeless narrative.
Each captured moment feels like it first captures me, whispering its unique tale.
As an artist and a storyteller, my photographs are more than images;
they are moments transformed into enduring stories. - Annita A.
