ANNA V.P.E.

Wherever I am, I paint.

Anna Papamarkaki Evans. Painter, born and raised in Athens, with active studios in New York, Washington D.C., Athens and on the Amalfi Coast.

Painting came later, as another pulse, a second language.

Before the canvas came music, theater, choreography and writing. She still writes: poems often come first, and the paintings grow out of them. A whole series, Colori e Parole, is built on words.

She began painting more systematically during a demanding period of her life. She calls each brushstroke an act of balance, a way to find her rhythm and breath again. That habit followed her from city to city.

Everywhere, I set up a studio, everywhere, I painted.

The White Mirror is not a conclusion.

For years she kept this work private. In January 2026 she showed it for the first time, at the Tsichritzis Visual Arts Foundation in Kifisia. She calls the show a pause in a journey that goes on.
