I make small, quiet paintings about the way light feels in the morning.
I'm Iana. I work from a small studio in Glyfada, just outside Athens, mostly in watercolor and oil. I started painting as a way to slow down a too-busy job; it became the practice that organises everything else.
The work is quiet on purpose. Mostly diluted colour, mostly empty paper, mostly things I see out the kitchen window before the day gets hard. I don't make prints. Each piece is one of one.
I price openly. I ship carefully. I write back to every email.

Sit, look
Coffee, an empty page, the same window every morning.
02
First marks
Charcoal or diluted ink. Always something I can paint over.

Watercolor or oil. Wait. Add. Wait again.
04
Sign & seal
Reverse-side date, archival sleeve, a handwritten note.
