Lia Kaderoglou, artistically known as Aqualia
was born in Athens, Greece and since 1999 she resides
in Thessaloniki. She has been painting from an early
age; a self -taught artist. She pursued a demanding and
complex professional path with post graduate degrees
in Special Needs Education and Counselling with 25
years of experience in the field. Then somehow few
years back, she tried the Art therapy experience. This
experience led to a lot of art making processes working
with children in the Pediatric hospital of Thessaloniki
(her current job). This rich experience with children
has transformed her personal expression. A shift of
style coincided with her experimentation with marbling
inks on canvas combining media like balsa, acrylics,
sharpies, metallic elements, natural objects. Her art is
characterized by a whimsical naivety, vivid colors, and a
dreamlike fluidity that acts as a sub-context.
