Maria Tassopoulou was born in Athens. She remembers drawing from an early age, putting every thought and every emotion onto paper. At the age of nine, she won second prize in the Loukis Akritas Painting Competition in the Attica region. She studied Medicine in Florence, Italy, a city that is itself a living museum, while continuing to pursue her great passion for painting. Upon returning to Greece, she began practising medicine while becoming actively involved in several visual arts groups. She became a member of these groups, participated in numerous group exhibitions in Greece and abroad, and has also presented two solo exhibitions. She has studied oil painting, watercolour, tempera and collage under artists specializing in each medium. Since 2010, she has been working with digital art. Using the mouse as her creative tool, she captures emotions, ideas and moments through her distinctive approach and vibrant use of colour. As she describes it, she captures the moment at the very instant it is born. In 2018, she won second prize in a nationwide painting competition with a digital artwork addressing the war in Syria.
