I am a Figurative Arts painter with an Abstract Flair, Art Educator based in Rhodes, Greece with my husband and teenage daughter. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. My studio is based in a light- filled room overlooking my garden from which I draw inspiration and serenity.  Painting offers me the chance to express the beauty I see in both Greek landscapes and people's expressions therefore my principal theme is nature and portraiture. My highest goal is to create a moment of stillness followed by an emotion in my viewer’s eyes. My favourite medium is watercolours, with which I fell in love with during the 2020 pandemic. Previously, I made figurative and almost abstract art pieces, using acrylic paints as my medium. As an exhibiting member and founder of the local art group VAN GeNS we have held exhibitions in order to promote the work of local artists in collaboration with local organizations.

Agnes Geets

Agnes Geets, born in Mechelen, Belgium, is now based in Duffel, Belgium.  Throughout her life she always loved drawing but around 13 years ago, she got fascinated by watercolors after seeing a painting exhibited in the hallway of the hospital and decided to make a start in this wonderful medium.  A challenge, because she had to divide her time between her daily job, family and then painting.    Mainly self-taught, Agnes started to participate each year in a workshop given by a renowned artist.  It taught her to hone her natural ability and skills, influenced and inspired by them, making her the artist she is today.   The subjects Agnes paints are varied, but figure and portrait painting are her first love and her main strength. She is fascinated by how light and shadow can express features in a face and always tries to capture the personality.     Agnes is member of AIB, the Belgian watercolorsociety and IWS Belgium
