The surrounding poetic atmosphere in the works of Maria Panagiotou is enhanced by the design and color qualities of her painting. The painter, with the strong description and depiction of the specific, is led to a different personal perception and interpretation, revealing what is hidden behind the surface and depicting a vital relationship with the world and its familiar environment, relative to mental and emotional states.
Maria Panagiotou was born in Larissa in 1974. She studied at the Art & Applied Arts Department of the School of Fine Arts, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. She studied in the workshop of Giorgos Tsakiris and Vasilis Vasilakakis, in the direction of painting and engraving as a course of choice, in Xeni Sahini’s workshop.
She has conducted 3 solo exhibitions and has participated in more than 60 groups in Greece and abroad and is a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece
