Personal story
Maria was born in Albania in 1984. Both of her parents were unemployed for a long time period, and Maria remembers that they were not able to afford the basic school equipment for her. They were forced to emigrate from Albania to Athens in 1993.
When they entered Greece, Maria’s family experienced a lot of xenophobia, from both Greek authorities and ordinary people. They had numerous issues with their immigration documents as well. Maria and her parents were atheist, but had to be baptized in the Greek Orthodox church in order to change their names and become a part of the Greek community.
After graduating from high school, Maria started taking art lessons and specialized in drawing and painting. After the end of her studies, she decided to do something innovative and eco-friendly, but relevant to her studies.
Maria uses acrylic paint to revitalize old shoes. Currently, she has a small workshop, where she draws and paints on used shoes, turning them into the works of art.
Maria works entirely on recycling and reuses canvas second-hand shoes by repairing, painting and decorating them.
