Aliki is a brilliant art historian and engaging speaker that helps people expand their thinking around art, history and culture.
Workshop participants say she is a source of inspiration and sets the tone for innovative thinking. She believes that understanding past movements and techniques can inform and enrich contemporary creative practices. We are so pleased to have her as our lead speaker in the Atelier series which provides wellness programs for companies. Her lectures and workshops weave together a tapestry of compelling stories from artists and links the history of the time and events that shaped them. She explores themes of identity, expression, and the human condition, helping us understand ourselves and others across time and place. She shows us that is not just about studying the past but also about understanding the present and shaping the future by learning from human creativity and expression.
