Loupes, a duo dedicated to the art of printing, has emerged last year in the heart of an open and lively city, Athens, to contribute to its creative life.

Lena Daniilidi and Marina Stathopoulou combined their experience and their talents and started a studio, a place where they apply their own ideas but also a place open to anyone who wishes to learn more on silkscreen, engraving,stamp curving and other printing techniques.

Loupes consider handcrafted and synergistic creation a vital part of modern society. So, their aspiration is to empower less affluent societies or groups of people into creating their own collaborative artistic output with minimal means.

To that end, beside their own artwork and commissions, they organize workshops aiming not only at promoting artistic creativity, aesthetics awareness, and eventually original artwork production, but also and maybe more importantly the osmosis and assimilation of unusual traditional techniques.

During Amorφous summer camp Loupes will provide the ground and means for people to express their testimonies and personal stories through artistic printing.

Hi! I’m an undergraduate student at Technological Educational Institute of Athens, Greece in the Graphic Design department. As a student, i have changed my mind a lot of times and I don’t know which path I’ll take in visual arts. I am very passionate about almost everything! I love books and editorial design as much as I love photography, especially the analog mode. In the near future I would like to be a cultural explorer, so I could have the opportunity to encapsulate unusual beauty in my photographs. I am getting inspired by the world of the visual arts in all their forms. Things as handmade paper and silkscreen fascinates me. I have taken place in a lot of workshops in the past, such as “Image and Sound” workshop by Makino Takashi at In Mute festival in Athens, Block Printing, Zine Making and Digital Storytelling. As a person, I am very optimistic, active and open-minded. I think teamwork is very effective and reasonable, that ‘s why I love to collaborate with other persons.
