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.

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
