A Reflection of Gratitude and Vision - Art Magazine Feature

Annita Apostolidou Platis reflects on her Art Magazine feature, where four of her artworks highlight the dialogue between Greek heritage, contemporary vision, and global cultural exchange.

As I proudly stand alongside my four artworks featured in the latest issue of Art Magazine, I am deeply honored to be part of this vibrant celebration of contemporary art that transcends borders and connects cultures. This edition's theme resonates profoundly with my journey as an artist, wherein my Greek heritage blends seamlessly with my dynamic exploration of color and form, nurtured from a young age under the guidance of Dimitris Kantopoulos.

My artistic philosophy has always been about bridging the gap between the traditional and the contemporary, a dialogue between the past and the present that is vividly reflected in my use of acrylics, ink, and impasto, as well as my pioneering mixed-media digital collages. Educated at the Marangoni Institute in Milan, with a rich background in fashion, jewelry design, and interior design, my work is a symphony of diverse influences—from Art Nouveau and Art Deco to Surrealism.

This feature in Art Magazine is not just a showcase of my art but a testament to the power of art to foster global dialogue and understanding. Through my work, I strive to offer a window into the interplay of the local and the global, the personal and the collective—inviting viewers to witness the confluence of historical motifs reimagined through a modern lens.

I extend my deepest thanks to the editor-in-chief, Allegra Barbagelata, and the entire team at Art Magazine for this incredible opportunity. It is a privilege to share this platform with such talented artists from around the world and to contribute to the ongoing conversation that art provokes in our lives.

As we continue to navigate these times of global connectivity, may we all find inspiration in the rich diversity and innovative spirit that art brings into our lives. Thank you for embracing my vision and joining me on this artistic journey.

Celebrating a Milestone in My Journey: Advancing My Skills in Art Curation & Exhibition Management

Annita Apostolidou Platis celebrates a milestone with her certification in Art Curation & Exhibition Management from the Visual Artists Association. This achievement, guided by renowned mentors, enhances her role as an artist and exhibition essayist while opening new paths in creative expression and curatorial practice.

Εορτάζοντας ένα ορόσημο στο ταξίδι μου: Εξελίσσοντας τις δεξιότητές μου στη διαχείριση καλλιτεχνικών εκθέσεων και επιμέλειας.

Εξερευνώντας νέους κόσμους της τέχνης, όπου κάθε έκθεση μεταμορφώνει το ορατό σε εμπειρία. Περήφανη για την επίτευξη μου, η οποία εμπλουτίζει τη διαδρομή μου ως συγγραφέας κειμένων για εκθέσεις, ανοίγοντας νέους δρόμους για δημιουργική έκφραση και κριτική σκέψη.

I am thrilled to share a significant achievement in my artistic and professional development—the completion of the Art Curation & Exhibition Management course offered by the Visual Artists Association. This intensive program has been a transformative experience, equipping me with essential skills in the art of curating and the dynamics of exhibition management.

Curating is not just about organizing art; it's about creating a narrative that connects the audience with the essence of creativity. Under the guidance of distinguished mentors like Karen van Hoey Smith, whose expertise as an artist mentor provided a strong foundation, I delved deeply into the subtleties of exhibition planning and execution. With Maeve Doyle, an internationally renowned art critic, I explored various curatorial styles, gaining insights into what makes an exhibition resonate with diverse audiences. Her global perspective was invaluable, enriching my understanding and appreciation of different artistic expressions. Stephanie Dieckvoss and Emily-Jean Alexander brought a wealth of knowledge in management and project coordination. Their strategic approaches to managing art exhibitions illuminated the practical aspects of bringing an artistic vision to fruition, from the initial concept to the final installation.

This course has not only honed my skills but also expanded my professional network, connecting me with experts and practitioners who are at the forefront of the art industry. The comprehensive curriculum covered everything from the conceptualization of exhibition themes to the practicalities of public engagement, ensuring that every participant can curate with confidence and creativity. As I reflect on this journey, I am excited about the opportunities to apply these new skills in upcoming projects. This achievement marks a pivotal moment in my career as an artist and exhibition essayist. It represents a leap towards new challenges and achievements in the vibrant world of art curation.

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.
