Alexandra Mantzari

Alexandra Mantzari  was born in 1989 in Larisa. In 2008, she started studying at Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Dept Graphic Arts Technology and she graduated in 2012. In 2016, she finished courses lessons in Web Design at Kapodistrian University of Athens. In 2017, she started studying in the Faculty of Visual and Applied Arts, of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. She is the first young artist to receive awards at the Osten  Biennale of Drawing (Skopje) and the third design award at the Pan-Hellenic "Parallel Roads" competition at the Vafopouleio Cultural Center in Thessaloniki.

The themes of her work refer to external and "internal" landscapes. Through the need to express her psychic world and liberate myself through it, gestural but primarily mental, she create fantasy scenes or landscapes. Materials such as oil, charcoal, acrylics and oil pastel are used on canvas, linen and paper to describe the "scene". The works are characterized by a tendency to flee, a personal escape, in which the passage leaves its mark, with lines giving the intensity, the dramatic element and the feeling of movement.
