LEGENDS - THE CODE
My new collection of artworks called “Legends - The Code”
"Legends - The Code": Echoes of Myth in Modernity
Welcome to "Legends – The Code," a series of ten mixed media digital collages that bridge the past with the present by weaving the tales of mythological women whose stories of strength, resilience, and power echo through the ages. Following my previous collection, "Links," which explored the connectivity between women, nature, mythology, and history, this new series delves deeper into the personas of legendary women who have shaped cultural narratives about femininity and fortitude.
Each artwork in "Legends – The Code" is a testament to the trials, triumphs, and enduring beauty of its subjects, accompanied by a unique poem that further explores their mythical essence and emotional depth. These poems are crafted to complement the visual narrative, adding a lyrical dimension to the stories depicted on canvas and inviting viewers to engage both visually and intellectually with the themes presented.
Crafted on high-quality Belgian linen canvas with vibrant acrylic colors and delicate metallic pens, these pieces are not just visually striking but are imbued with the essence of each mythological figure they represent.
As you explore this collection, I invite you to reflect on how these ancient legends resonate with contemporary societal themes, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities for women today.
Through this series, I aim to celebrate the legendary past while drawing meaningful parallels to the experiences of modern women, illustrating that the core of human experience remains constant even as contexts change.

Η νέα μου συλλογή έργων τέχνης "Legends – The Code," Θρύλοι - ο Κωδικός
"Legends - The Code": Ηχοί Μύθων στη Σύγχρονη Εποχή
Καλώς ήρθατε στο "Legends – The Code," μια σειρά από δέκα ψηφιακά κολάζ μεικτών μέσων που γεφυρώνουν το παρελθόν με το παρόν, αναδεικνύοντας τις ιστορίες μυθολογικών γυναικών με αφηγήσεις γεμάτες δύναμη, αντοχή και επιρροή που αντηχούν μέσα στους αιώνες. Ακολουθώντας την προηγούμενη συλλογή μου "Links," η οποία εξερεύνησε τη συνδεσιμότητα μεταξύ γυναικών, φύσης, μυθολογίας και ιστορίας, αυτή η νέα σειρά εμβαθύνει περισσότερο στις προσωπικότητες των θρυλικών γυναικών που διαμόρφωσαν τις πολιτιστικές αφηγήσεις για τη θηλυκότητα και τη γενναιότητα.
Κάθε έργο στο "Legends – The Code" αποτελεί μαρτυρία των δοκιμασιών, των επιτυχιών και της διαχρονικής ομορφιάς των υποκειμένων του, συνοδευόμενο από ένα μοναδικό ποίημα που εξερευνά περαιτέρω τη μυθική τους ουσία και το συναισθηματικό τους βάθος. Αυτά τα ποιήματα έχουν δημιουργηθεί για να συμπληρώσουν την οπτική αφήγηση, προσθέτοντας μια λυρική διάσταση στις αφηγήσεις που απεικονίζονται στους καμβάδες και προσκαλώντας τους θεατές να αλληλεπιδράσουν τόσο οπτικά όσο και διανοητικά με τα παρουσιαζόμενα θέματα.
Φτιαγμένα σε καμβάδες υψηλής ποιότητας βελγικού λινού με ζωντανά ακρυλικά χρώματα και λεπτεπίλεπτα μεταλλικά στυλό, αυτά τα έργα δεν είναι μόνο οπτικά εντυπωσιακά αλλά είναι εμποτισμένα με την ουσία κάθε μυθολογικής φιγούρας που αντιπροσωπεύουν.
Καθώς εξερευνάτε αυτή τη συλλογή, σας προσκαλώ να σκεφτείτε πώς αυτοί οι αρχαίοι μύθοι αντηχούν με τα σύγχρονα κοινωνικά θέματα, προσφέροντας ενδείξεις για τις προκλήσεις και τις ευκαιρίες για τις γυναίκες σήμερα.
Μέσω αυτής της σειράς, στοχεύω να γιορτάσω το θρυλικό παρελθόν ενώ τραβώ ουσιαστικές παραλληλίες με τις εμπειρίες των σύγχρονων γυναικών, επιδεικνύοντας ότι ο πυρήνας της ανθρώπινης εμπειρίας παραμένει σταθερός ακόμη και καθώς τα πλαίσια αλλάζουν.
Σχετικά με τα έργα τέχνης
Είναι μια συλλογή που απαρτίζεται από δέκα έργα.
Mixed Media Digital Collage της Αννίτας Αποστολίδου Πλατή.
Βελγικοί Λινοί καμβάδες με βαμμένες λεπτομέρειες και τυπωμένες άκρες, με σατινέ φινίρισμα. Υπογεγραμμένα από την καλλιτέχνιδα και συνοδευόμενα από πιστοποιητικό γνησιότητας.
Δεν απαιτείται πλαίσιο, έτοιμα να κρεμαστούν.
Είναι σημαντικό να σημειωθεί πως κάθε έργο τέχνης συμπληρώνεται από ένα ξεχωριστό ποίημα που απηχεί τα θεματικά και οπτικά στοιχεία του, ενισχύοντας το αφηγηματικό βάθος και παρέχοντας μια πλουσιότερη δέσμευση με τους μύθους που εκπροσωπούνται.
