Greece

Christina Savvatianou, who works under the name Plektani Art, is a multidisciplinary visual artist from Greece. Her creative journey spans photography, digital art, textile practice, painting, and writing. Christina's work is deeply centered around the themes of imperfection, emotion, social injustice, and the complexity of the human condition—finding beauty within chaos, fragmentation, and hardship. Her practice explores the hidden narratives of life, where light and darkness coexist, and where creativity becomes a form of resistance and transformation.

Christina’s abstract motion photography is among her most recognized forms of expression. Using intentional camera movement, slow shutter techniques, and an emotional presence that transcends technical perfection, her images are marked by a raw spontaneity and blur. This deliberate "unpolished" approach is both an aesthetic choice and an emotional response, reflecting post-calligraphic rhythm and light as both subject and gesture. Her works evoke feelings of melancholy, resistance, and resilience, offering a narrative that is intensely personal yet universally relatable.

Her style is influenced by a wide spectrum of artistic movements, including Neo-Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, and Art Informel, as well as glitch aesthetics and the geometric disruptions found in Brutalism. In her digitally manipulated works, she often taps into cyberpunk-inspired visuals, juxtaposing bright, saturated colors with fragmented, dissolving forms of urban and natural landscapes—revealing beauty in deconstruction. These works serve not only as emotional mappings but as visual essays, telling stories of struggle, transformation, and survival in the face of adversity.

Christina's creative process is intuitive and emotionally led, rejecting rigid discipline in favor of a more organic, spontaneous approach. This results in works that are emotionally charged, and visually provocative, aiming to represent internal and collective states—grief, identity, resistance, and transformation. Her art does not seek to document reality as it is but rather to uncover what often goes unseen—the contradictions of life, the resilience born from hardship, and the emotional landscapes of human experience.

Her involvement in social movements and activism deeply informs her art. Christina has engaged in various community-based initiatives and is an active member of decentralized platforms like Teia, where she contributes to projects such as the Breadfond contract, which aims to support emerging and lesser-known artists. This practice is a reflection of her commitment to accessibility, equity, and solidarity—values that are at the core of her work. Christina believes in the power of art as a tool for social change and has used her platform to support various causes, including #TezQuakeAid (earthquake relief) and #Tez4Pal (aid for children affected by the war in Palestine).

Her art spans across both physical exhibitions and digital platforms, bridging the gap between traditional and contemporary mediums. Whether through her motion photography, textile abstractions, or multimedia writing, Christina’s work is defined by a consistency of intent: to transform the dark into something meaningful, to elevate diversity, and to give voice to inner worlds often overlooked.
