Anastasis Argyropoulos
Maria Papakonstantinou
My name is Maria Papakonstantinou. I was introduced to the world of printmaking in 2016, and since then, I have been systematically and continuously dedicated to this art form. From the very beginning of my journey, I was fortunate to study under Elissavet Dionysopoulou. Under her invaluable guidance, I gained a deep understanding of this art, fell in love with it, and evolved, reaching a point today where I can confidently create my own personal works.
Printmaking is my primary form of artistic expression. As a mother of three, I draw daily inspiration from their world—from their childhood lightheartedness to their first concerns and anxieties.
My works aim to awaken the perceptiveness of the everyday viewer and urge them to resist the blind acceptance of reality, intertwining empathy with personal, emotional experiences. My aspiration is to disrupt complacent minds and stimulate public discourse.
I experiment with engraving on various materials (wood, linoleum, plexiglass), with a particular fondness for metal. The images I create capture a series of contradictory emotions, communicated through the dynamics of the drawing, the intensity of the lines, and the interplay between light and shadow.
Through the sharp yet delicate texture of engraving, I manage to “capture” emotion and create works that speak directly from my soul. This process is what makes printmaking truly unique to me.

NikosMine Lampropoulos
Born and raised in Athens, Nikos Lampropoulos follows a unique path that combines entrepreneurship with artistic creation. He holds a university degree in Business Administration and Computer Programming, and for many years successfully managed his own company trading dental materials and machinery in Greece.
However, his inner need for creation did not allow him to continue on that path. As a self-taught visual artist, he has been constantly experimenting with painting and sculpture since childhood, exploring the properties and potentials of different materials.
Since 2013, based in Dallas, Texas, he works exclusively as a professional Artist, developing new techniques and creating works that capture his personal vision of Art.
His Artwork is abstract based on rich colors and texture combinations. He Believes that texture adds an element of depth to Art that color alone cannot express. His compositions use mixed elements and are unique, full of my energy and strong emotions. Through his work, he hopes to open a window for you to explore your secret dreams and feelings. In His work you can see slowly the painting unravel a bit more. Numerous layers over layers of paint, incorporating layers of reality, His new series that He is currently working on, has the name ‘FTHORA’, a Greek word that means Wearing Down. In our modern world everybody fights against Time, in an effort to win it and make themselves look younger. Everybody loves the New. That’s why He has decided to create new paintings which look old and worn down. When you can’t wait for years, you have to create your own Time Lapse. His new paintings are extensive fields of color which have sometimes been likened to caves or vast abysses momentarily illuminated by crackling flares of light. Getting lost in them is inevitable.

Despoina Syregkou
"Art as a Refuge and a Journey"
I was born in Athens in 1990 and grew up until the age of 11½ in Stavros Sarakinas, Crete. My childhood, with farmer parents, among olive groves and animals, shaped my perspective and my relationship with nature and creation.
My love for painting began at a very young age. At the age of 5, I created my first artwork, an icon of the Virgin Mary. Although I have pursued a professional career as a dog groomer since the age of 16, my inner need for creativity has always remained alive.
In 2024, I began sculpture lessons with Thanasis Beroutsos, and in 2025 ceramic lessons with Athanasios Athanasiadis. Through my involvement with art, I explore the possibilities of different materials, such as clay, wire, wood and fabric.
