About Olia Paspalaki

She was born and raised in Heraklion, Crete. She studied theater, cinema and photography, while has acted as an actor in the city of Athens.

Today she lives and works in the city of Heraklion as an animator of theatrical play in schools in the prefecture. She has participated in group exhibitions in Heraklion and Chania and has attended several seminars and workshops with distinguished photographers from Greece and abroad. In 2016 her participation was selected in the annual competition of Photometria Festival among the 25 best and was exhibited in 13 different cities of Greece and three abroad.

Photohraphy, she thinks, is a personal affair. It is an in-depth investigation of ourselves, our memories and our fears. This art works psychothetically for herself, like many other forms of art.

Extremely influenced by the art of theater, her initial study, she designs and directs her frames so that the result conveys the emotion she wants, hoping that this does not deprive them of realism
