POSEIDONE Il Dio dei Mari

Honored to receive the POSEIDONE – Il Dio dei Mari award from Accademia Italia In Arte Nel Mondo, celebrating my Words collection and its deep connection between Greek mythology and contemporary art.

Accademia Italia In Arte Nel Mondo

What a great honor!

I am deeply touched and proud to receive this recognition from the Accademia Italia In Arte Nel Mondo with the award "POSEIDONE Il Dio del Mare della Mitologia Greca".

“Poseidone” is in my hands now!


Among other renowned artists who were also awarded, I was the artist that through my artworks promoted Greece. I represented the power of the Culture and History in Ancient Greece, including elements and symbolic Greek words from our Philosophy and Mythology.

The Academic committee that evaluated the artworks of my new collection called “Words”, stated that my artistic work meets a providential need of Art history!

The Greek Mythology, as also the history of Rome and Ancient Egypt, have a powerful influence on my new collection of artworks.


I would like to thank once again the Honorary Committee of the Accademia Italia In Arte nel Mondo, who in collaboration with their art experts and analysts of the department of Art Theory and History of Art, they recognized once again my collection of artworks as the connection between ancient civilizations through the modern side of Art.

I also want to thank the Honorary President Dr. Michele Miulli, for the honour and the recognition of my work.


A spectacular event that emphasized, in accordance with Article 27, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the protection of the Right to freedom of expression, including artistic and creative expression and more specifically to Art as a World Heritage.

The Impasto Effect on Paintings

Impasto, a timeless painting technique used since the Renaissance, transforms color into sculptural form. Annita Apostolidou Platis reflects on its expressive depth and enduring impact in art.

Annita Apostolidou Platis

Impasto is a thick application of paint that does not attempt to look smooth. A painting technique. Impasto is not a modern approach to painting. Art historians note that the technique was employed as early as the Renaissance and Baroque periods by artists such as Rembrandt, Titian, and Rubens. Impasto seems like a form of sculpture.

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.
