Electra Varnava was born on July 20, 1988 in Limassol, Cyprus. She graduated from the Department of Visual and Applied Arts of the School of Fine Arts at Thessaloniki’s Aristotle University (2006-11). She has participated in various group exhibitions, including the 15th Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean-Symbiosis. She has received various awards in art competitions at home, as well as abroad.

At the age of 10, she began to attend art lessons at a private school in Limassol. Her mother encouraged her to participate in competitions where she achieved numerous distinctions. The most significant competition during her younger years was the one organized by the Youth Board of Cyprus in 2002, where she won a trip to Rome, (at the age of only 14). This was also the first competition she had ever taken part in and the one which made her career take off. Αt the same young age, she won first place in the Agros Youth competition in Cyprus. In two short years (2004), she achieved another distinction in a European competition this time and then after that the first place in Limassol’s “Epilogi” Cultural Movement Art competition. In 2005, she took the third place in a Greek competition. The following year (2006), she won third place in a Cyprus Anti-drug poster competition and again first place in Limassol’s “Epilogi” Cultural Movement art competition. In October 2015, she participated in "VERA World Fine Art Festival" in Lisbon, where she received an award in Drawing for "Diligence and Professionalism"

Her first participation in a group (students’) exhibition took place in 2005 at the age of 17, where 50% of the proceeds went to charity. Even the Minister of Justice and Public Order attended this event and actually bought one of Electra’s paintings.

As a university student, she participated in a lot of group exhibitions, including the 15th Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean-Symbiosis.

In 2011 she graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Thessaloniki and returned to Cyprus where she created her own studio from the ground up. Electra was also trying to find her own painting style. Her love for the harmony of nature and the courses of design she was giving her students on the correct proportions of things around them, brought closer to realism. One can say that she became fond of any realistic approach.
