Meet the artists
of Plastico
Five unique perspectives.
One permanent exhibition.
Spiros Baras
Athens, Greece
Born and raised in Athens, I started to paint soon after earning my diploma in graphic arts. I first exhibited in 2010 among established artists, in "35 artists exhibit their works on Global Poverty" at Technopolis in Athens.
I moved to Syros island in 2013 where I founded and currently own Plastico Café Gallery, an alternative meeting place for artists, musicians, writers and friends.
Somewhere between Japanese aesthetics and the European tradition, my work becomes one of study, reflection, and homage to the form, the colour and the cultural context of the image.
Dimitra Kalantzi
Greece
Dimitra Kalantzi is a social worker and artist whose alter ego, Micio o Micio, was born not in a studio, but in a therapeutic encounter. Since 2016, her intuitive, autobiographical ceramic practice has grown into a body of work that honours the lives of those she has walked alongside — patients, strangers, stories half-told.
Today, Dimitra continues her work in Galissas, alongside the painter and sculptor Vassilis Kavouridis, a creative and life partnership shaped by the sea, the land, and a shared commitment to expression that is honest and unhurried.
Vassilis Kavouridis
Athens, Greece
Vassilis Kavouridis, was born in 1976 in Athens. He is a graduate of the School of Fine Arts in Florina, Greece. Mainly he expresses himself through painting, sculpture, video and performance, combining all of them in order to create works of art and installations where the viewer is invited to enter into a world of new rules. He is also trying at the same time to express those concepts and positions of our times that have to do with the visible and invisible, subjective and objective reality.
Anna Maria Papadimitriou
Athens, Greece
Born in 1972 and raised in Athens Greece. Initially trained in Interior Architecture, she turned to the Athens School of Fine Arts following her longing for limitless expression. She studied Painting under the professors Yannis Valavanidis and Michalis Manousakis (2000-2005). She presented her first solo exhibition in Athens (Astrolavos Gallery, 2010). Since then, her work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions worldwide. In 2014 she won an international competition curated by CultureInside Gallery in Luxembourg. Since 2017 she has participated in the annual international “Art Athina” represented by Astrolavos Gallery.
Her paintings utilise a series of contrasts: elements real and utopian, movement and calm, things timeless and instantaneous. She often refers to her work as “unfamiliar internal landscapes” claiming that the Unfamiliar is a more open space, broader, stretching its boundaries out in all directions for a single instant gazing at a truth.
Agni Roussou
Syros, Greece
Agni Roussou was born on the island of Syros, Greece, in 1991. As a high school student, she was awarded in Art Competitions at both national and international levels. In 2008, she was honoured with a Diploma by the Greek Minister of Education in Artistic Expression Awards in Thessaloniki. She graduated from the School of Fine Arts at the University of Western Macedonia, where she completed an Integrated Master's degree in Painting. During her final year of studies, she was awarded a Scholarship for Academic Excellence.
In 2018, she moved to Scotland, where she worked for three years as an art teacher and completed her postgraduate studies at the Glasgow School of Art, specializing in Contemporary Art Curatorial Practice (MLitt Curatorial Practice, Contemporary Art, GSA). For the past ten years, she has been teaching painting in schools and art workshops while maintaining an active artistic practice through solo and group exhibitions, conferences, and festivals.
