About Katerina Stamatelos
Throughout my adolescence, several teachers of different disciplines were trying to talk me into this or the other artistic profession. All had one common demand: absolute devotion. I followed that choosing piano performance and, over the next decades, I devoted myself to this art entirely. I was happy with my decision but not ENTIRELY happy to have chosen ONE-and, secretly, continued drawing…..
The good thing about my choice: I learned to focus. This ability would prove to be priceless during my later artistic development.
But-one day-something “exploded”: I allowed myself to study Fashion Design! What followed was a complete surprise: I started composing! And writing poetry….and paint!!
Now, I finally recognize my “personal” truth: all of these talents go together; nothing works when I exclude the others. I feel free and happier than ever before….
