Η Παναγιά η γοργόνα της Λέσβου (2011) Sculpture by Aphrodite Zampetake

I was born in Heraklion, Crete and I grew up in a small village in the south of Heraklion prefecture. Since I was a small child I loved painting and fine arts in general but I studied economics and worked professionally in it, but I never gave up what I really love and I feel that it gives me that inner joy that makes every person who feels it happy.

My love for art led me to attend seminars on creating mosaic art, the art of mosaic finally occupied the biggest place in my heart. Although I have taken mosaic classes, I consider myself a self-taught artist as I have diversified and evolved the methods I have been taught.

 I draw my inspiration from nature, people, saints of my faith and generally whatever fascinates me. I use resin, oil, glass, marble and mixed media to create my works.
