Daphne Kesisoglou is an architect and botanical painter. She was born in Athens and studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens. She later specialized in the restoration of historic buildings at the University of Edinburgh, where she also worked as a researcher. She was involved in the restoration of historic structures in the United Kingdom, including castles, churches, and mansions. Her interest in botanical painting began with her desire to combine her love of plants and their meticulous observation with her sensitivity to color. She attended a series of related courses at the Working Men’s College in London. This was followed by four years of study in the scientific illustration of plants (Certificate and Diploma in Botanical Illustration) at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. In recent years, D. Kesisoglou has been living in Athens, where she works on building restorations and the study and artistic documentation of Greek flora in particular. Her goal is to raise public awareness about the often-overlooked world of plants.
