Painter Maria Filopoulou, born in Athens 1964, studied in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts from 1984-1988.
She continued with postgraduate studies, awarded a scholarship by the French government.
Since 1990 she has had seventeen solo exhibitions, several in Greece, three in Paris, others in New York and London.

Athens National Gallery of Fine Art and private museums and collections in Greece and abroad.

Maria Filopoulou talks about her water paintings as ‘scenes of paradise, where people feel the eroticism of being in the water,
experience a sense of well-being, relaxation and union with nature.’
