My name is Maria Panagiotou and I am a painter and mixed media artist.
I studied at Istituto Per L'Arte E Il Restauro, in Florence, Italy and worked on several excavation projects and restorations of works of art. However, my true love is painting as a complete form of expression. My inspiration is nature, my family, a word, an emotion, simple everyday things that surround me. Through them, I create my own perception of the world. I work mainly with watercolor and acrylic on paper, canvas and wood.

Currently I work as an art teacher and as a children's book illustrator.
