The Creatress Project germinated in musical venues and on scorching streets of Aphrodite’s birth place, Cyprus. I embarked on an adventure of finding the divine feminine in female artists who are eager to raise their voices and talk about the magic and challenges of life, womanhood, creation and inspiration. They are women who allow their power to emerge through vulnerability whether in conversation or in front of the camera.
The women whom I have met and photographed showed to be willing to defy the male gaze, provoke and rise as goddesses on stage, on paper or on canvas. Majestic women whose work’s motives are to share alternative forms of bliss, love, death, sorrows and self-empowerment while moving through life creatively, no matter the challenges.
With my camera, I am to be a noninvasive entity, like a fly on a wall in a state of non-judgmental observation, softly glimpsing into the creatress’ life in a non-voyeuristic way.
