‘Art has been my lifelong passion…. and whilst creating, I reach the blissful state of ‘flow’…… As I tenderly apply paint to canvas, paper or board, I am the lover caressing her beloved. The process is not only a physical or sensual act, it is also an emotional and cerebral act of love and I am fully engaged during the ritual of the creative process. Because of this, I prefer my privacy and work in solitude.’

Alchemy fascinates her, as she has always managed to transform very little, into sheer abundance. She prefers to ‘add value’ to that which is humble or ordinary, transmuting it into that which is extra-ordinary or precious. (‘Precious Circle’).
Her most ambitious collector to date has recently awarded her with yet another monumental 2 year art project, for his Art Museum. Now her interest in Alchemy can at last be fully developed and explored.
Michaletos has an open and inquisitive mind and her keen awareness and sensitivity, enables her to find hidden beauty everywhere. In response, she creates individual, jewel-like pieces, which are coveted by collectors who are on the lookout for a rare ‘pièce unique’.
