Description
Miranda Vatopoulou was born in Athens in 2001. From a very young age, she was drawn to painting as a form of escapism, and her dream was to become an artist. Time passed, and this dream started to become blurry until it was forgotten. Until she came across one of the most defining paths of her academic and artistic career: following the IB curriculum and subconsciously choosing Visual Arts as a Higher- Level subject. She has always had very good communication skills and a passion for all things new and creative. Yet until four years ago, she had not found a productive outlet and a way to put these skills to good use. The Visual Arts course changed this, as it enabled her to develop the concepts in her mind that were almost hidden in her subconscious and allowed her to explore the hidden fantasies of her own world. Exploring one’s mind is the only way to live in a new world each day, and being able to visualise these fantasies gave her motivation and focus in her work. What she enjoys most about the process of making art is that it is all about risk-taking, challenging oneself to continuously develop one’s ideas and eventually choose the pathway one wants to follow. In January, 2023, she made her first solo exhibition at the Arts Center Municipality of Athens, entitled “Finding your lost sun”.
