The visual artist Elena Chatziathanasiou was born and raised in Thessaloniki, which is also the place where she currently works. Through her work, she tries to show the eternal movement of the world, nature and life, as well as the harmony of opposites, which is directly linked to movement, while her kinetic sculptures give tension to the space and evoke various associations. The materials she usually uses are plexiglass and stainless steel. Her works are in private collections in Greece, Odessa, Zurich, New York, Miami, Kobe, Japan, England and Scotland.
She is a member of:
• E.E.T.E. Art Chamber of Greece
• Union of Art Educators of Greece
• Department of Visual Interventions G.P. Papageorgiou Hospital
• Member of the Alumni Association of the School of Fine Arts of Thessaloniki
• Member of the group O PIKAP COMMUNITY – ART IN THESSALONIKI
