"Breaking free", a mixed media painting with a symbolic message.
Incorporated into it a page from a vintage women's magazine (1969) (Ταχυδρομος) with advice on how to be "an elegant woman": "Don't laugh out loud, keep your voice down, make sure you comb your hair before you meet him....Most women were taught that they should be polite and make people happy no matter what...
Women today have broken the old rules and are more powerful than ever before. They are leaders, they are strong, they are independent. And they should never forget that they are free to be themselves. And this painting is my way to convey this message...
