At the same time, she started giving art workshops for children. In 2007 she moved to Chania, Crete. Her work focuses on painting and performance art. Her way of painting aims to create an intense dialogue with the body, whilst using it along with brushes in order to complete the artwork. The study of the body and the research of its kinesiology made her realize how the body, in general can express itself, speak louder than words, and convey various messages. This procedure got her involved with various performances, which she always implements when she feels the need to address matters and issues that concern her. She has participated in a numerous group exhibitions, like Art Athina (2016), as well as presented four personal exhibitions. Many of her artworks are owned by private and public art collections in Greece and abroad.

Nikos Lamprinos
Temple, 137x137x2 cm, oil on canvas, 2016

My main goal is to achieve the feelings you have when your life is changing. The memories you carry when you get back, the nostalgy when you see something that reminds you of that change. I believe this feeling is common to all people so the viewer will find himself asking all sort of questions. Questions about life, relationships, purpose, higher self and meaning of life. Painting about the human, without having the human being inside. Source of the images could be photographs of the cities I visit, or from sketchbook, in which I draw every day. I'm talking about relations, about the idea of transformation.Encourage the viewer to confront and question the way we choose to perceive our reality. In an age where everything moves at warp speed,here is a refreshing reminder that sometimes it is necessary to slow down and take pause in order to really grasp the reality of our surroundings.
