Friday, March 28, 2025 – Visual artist Athina Danavara is the newest member of the “Color in the Water” community, dedicated to promoting visual artists whose primary medium of expression is watercolor.
Athina Danavara was born in Sykourio, Larissa, and lives in Thessaloniki. She studied in the Department of Physics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) and in the Department of Primary Education at AUTh. She completed further training at the “Dimitris Glinos” Teacher Training School and earned a Master’s degree in Environmental Education from the Department of Early Childhood Education at AUTh. She works as an educator in Thessaloniki. She has been engaged in painting for many years, focusing mainly on watercolor in recent years. She has participated in several group exhibitions in Athens and Thessaloniki.
In an artistic statement accompanying the announcement of her joining the community, Ms. Danavara notes:
“Watercolor is a medium with unique characteristics, such as transparency and fluidity. Its multifaceted nature, the play of color and water on paper, and the many possibilities it offers as a medium are what drew me to it. For my works, I draw inspiration from the world around me, from nature, and I try to capture—sometimes realistically and other times in a slightly more abstract way—the atmosphere, the light, and the emotions!”
