About the Item
’Ηeavenly Creatures’’
Heroins & magical creatures, in an elegant ,romantic approach, and a perfect technique all the way to the last detail. The female form, the female face is the muse in most paintings, although we can also find a gender neutral approach, an androgyny as a protagonist with the same always features, such as youth, sensualism, innocence and optimism.
Inside these dream-like images overfilled with euphoria, these fragile figures are kind souls with rich inner beauty. Figures that we can relate with if we dig deeper into our souls.

Sofia Fotiadou
Sofia’s Renaissance-inspired portraits of both men and women from different walks of life are transformed into surreal images of themselves. By distorting their faces, she conceals their identity, thus allowing the viewer to construct a new story or narrative. Sofia attempts to break free from the toxic beauty standards that society has always tried to impose on women. She believes that by deconstructing the face, she challenges the viewer to question the ideals of beauty, and helps them to reconnect with the past while breaking free from the social constraints and norms that society has been throwing at us, suppressing our individuality and creativity.
