Born in Athens, Greece, Vicky Andriotis is a painter of moods, habitual observer, and autodidact. Vicky began sketching in earnest on the day her father died, when she was 10 years old. As a child, this was the only way that she could adequately convey her emotions and her journey.
“My art is emotion in motion. When I have no words, I let the colors fall to the canvas and speak for me. Sometimes, they express things I didn't know I had to say. Art is not really a choice for me. It feels necessary to my existence, my serenity, maybe even my survival...And it is my story, my experiences, and the emotions that come with them that shape my art today."
Working primarily In acrylic on canvas, her work is often bold and dramatic, and intensely colorful. It varies in style, but she embraces and favors Expressionism, Impressionism, and occasionally Abstract art.
