Hi, I’m Maria Christidi, a multidisciplinary visual artist working across photography, videography and fine art. I explore visual storytelling through hybrid processes that blend digital and analogue techniques, with a particular interest in narrative, symbolism and the ways media shapes perception. I enjoy experimental practices and have experience in teaching and portfolio mentoring, always aiming to collaborate and refine conceptual and aesthetic detail. I am driven by collaborative projects that push the boundaries between fine art methodology and contemporary photography, and I enjoy mentoring students and sharing knowledge to help others develop bold, meaningful bodies of work.
