Maria Giannakaki

About

I am Maria Giannakaki, i was born in Athens and i am a professional painter. I finished the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1983. Under a state scholarship i stayed in China for 3 years where i studied traditional chinese painting and calligraphy.
I love traveling and i have visited many countries, mostly in Europe and Asia. Last year i spent one month in Tibet.
I give some of my free time for helping stray animals and for yoga.
