Thaleia Sklavounaki

Thaleia Sklavounaki was born in Argostoli, Kefalonia, on June 22, 1966. She spent her childhood in her birthplace and later completed her studies at the Department of Primary Education at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA). Since then, she has lived in Athens, where she works in education. The experiences she has gained from her professional field have greatly shaped her artistic practice. She draws inspiration from interactions with children and adults and the exploratory observation of human behavior, with the ultimate goal of searching for “truth.” Her artistic journey began with her love for painting and self-expression. Over time, collage and printmaking became part of her practice. She was taught drawing and color by artist Nikolaos Christoforakis and printmaking by Vasilis Vlachos at G. Varlamos’ studio. She has exhibited her work in two group exhibitions in Greece.
