MARIA DRAKAKI
VISUAL ARTIST
Photograms of a lifetime…
MY MULTIDIMENSIONAL ARTISTIC HAVEN
Here, I share my journey and the stories behind my photography, photograms, and beekeeping adventures. Explore featured works and experience the harmony between the natural world and artistic expression that defines my art.
THE ART
PORTRAITS
We leave nothing to chance. Our weddings are always covered by two photographers to ensure the best memories are captured.
ECHOES
Going through the fragmentary verses of Archilochus we find words we still use today, Words alive after 2700 years.
PHOTOGRAMS
Photograms are the creations of a darkroom technique. They are unique prints, like multiple impressions of the shadow of an object.
UN_EARTH
In recent years, the phenomenon of uprooting centuries-old olive trees with the aim of later selling them for decorative use has been widespread.
KYOTO
One month neighborhood somewhere in Japan. Again. Caring around my cheap Chinon Film camera and my Greek attitude.
THE ARTIST
Maria Drakaki was born and raised in Paros, she lives there still.
Often notes how the island’s unique qualities inform her work. A professional photographer and teacher, she studied at the prestigious LEICA Academy of Athens.
By nature an activist and socially conscious artist, she began her career as a news photographer, but later turned to the dramatic lure of the pure image in black and white. Additionally, she is a member of the International Association of Contemporary Mosaicists.

Photograms of a lifetime…
”Love of beauty is the bridge between God and man,” said Nikiforos Lytras once. After all, every culture reflects through its creations this human tendency to bridge our inner chasms by reflecting the beauty, the vision of the idealized that leads to perfection, and thus to divinity.
Photograms are the creations of a darkroom technique, without the use of any camera. They are unique prints, like multiple impressions of the shadow of an object. Through photograms, I “see” hibiscuses dancing, wooden air balloons surrounded by flying seeds.
