Koi acrylics on canvas


Hello,
I’m Effie Iliopoulos — a mother, wife, grandmother, and above all, an artist.
Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would always be searching for paper and a pencil to draw. Over the years, my artistic journey has expanded into various forms — from pencil sketches to sewing, cross-stitching, tapestries, and even porcelain doll making. In fact, I’m a Grandmaster, Triple Crown winner, and a Master Educator in the art of doll making.
In the last seven years, I’ve fallen in love with acrylic painting, especially creating Mandalas. However, my true passion lies in capturing the essence of people — I’m drawn to painting and drawing faces.
Recently, I’ve been pushing myself to explore new artistic territories and challenge what I thought I was capable of. To my surprise, I’ve found myself embracing subjects that never interested me before. This growth has made me realize that with every new endeavor, the key is to explore all possibilities — that’s how we evolve.
Art takes me to a place where I can lose myself completely, and it’s there that I find my greatest peace.
