consistently occupied with the improvisation of new materials (PXK ) and metissian
processes of space generation, experimenting with forms of Agro-Social Action
Generative Art (Kasda, Uranias Gardens 09-17) and visionary
pragmatism (Visionary Art Life Achievement Award 17). She is an
international multi-awarded artist. Her latest artwork was Twixt Cup and Lip,
Surfing on the WB legendary spaces, a 200X1000 cm painting+digital print
installation for the Biennale of the West Balkans 2018 Greece.Her book “The Conscious Eye: Art-Perception-Informatics”

discourse in Greece (Zikou, 2017).
