Maria Niarchou is a visual artist with many years of experience and private training in painting. Moving between different structures and visual worlds, she places human emotion at the heart of her creative process, with the ultimate aim of conveying it to the viewer. She combines realism with abstraction and experiments with materials, textures and colours, using acrylics, inks and traditional Byzantine mineral pigments, among other media. Since 2023, she has presented her work in two solo exhibitions and participated in five group exhibitions in Greece and abroad.
