Lore & Background
Born in Filothei, a northeastern suburb of Athens, Vordoni earned a scholarship from the Academy of Athens due to her high performance as a student, allowing her to move to France in 1981 for further studies. She now resides in Greece but spends part of each year in Paris, where the French government provides her an atelier for artistic reasons. Her paintings and sculptures appear in private collections, museums, and cultural institutions such as the National Gallery of Greece, Queens Museum of New York, Vorres Museum, and Athens Art Gallery, as well as in public spaces like Kifisias Avenue in Athens and Kefalonia Botanica in Argostoli.
