Papou’s art explores her multifaceted selves, soaked in personal and cultural narratives. Reflecting her journey, it blends bold colors and dynamic forms that evoke the motifs of her Greek and Native heritage.

Papou’s compositions, often featuring herself intertwined with Floridian wildlife, represent a deeper purpose through the repetition of a set of symbols: a seagull – presence; an alligator – madness; a chicken – the inner voice. 

Papou invites viewers to engage with their own inner child, which she considers a peek inside the window of self. Her art is not just a reflection of her identity; it’s an exploration of the dualities of existence—the light and the shadow, the playful and the somber—reminding us to celebrate the many versions of ourselves. Her work exudes both playfulness and sensuality, asking viewers to contemplate these dualities with a focus on joy and love above all.
