Xanthi Ioannidou is a self-taught painter whose formative years in the Cyclades, especially Santorini, have left a profound mark on her intuitive, nature-inspired practice. She paints mainly with egg tempera and acrylics on handmade burlap canvases, blending figurative and abstract elements with simplified forms, vibrant color, and rich textures that echo Cycladic symbolism. Her work, charged with introspective poetry, evokes connection, memory, and the quiet yet profound emotions that tie us to places and one another.
