My name is Kalliope — Kalli for my friends.

I come from Greece, and my name derives from the ancient Greek Kalliope,
which means “beautiful voice” from Greek καλλος (kallos) “beauty” and οψ (ops) “voice”. In Greek mythology, Kalliope was a goddess of epic poetry and eloquence, one of the nine Muses. 
So I have a heritage to fulfil 🙂

I grew up in an environment that allowed and encouraged me to play, imagine, create, and explore. Art has become my natural place.

I studied art & design at CGS and later left Greece to seek new experiences, cultures, and creative influences. For the past two years, Minerva Arts Academy, in Groningen, has been my academic home—and a playground for experimentation, curiosity, and growth.
