The Greek Herald Soula Mantalvanos: Bridging art and design in Melbourne’s creative landscape

2024-01-08T15:36:44+11:00January 8, 2024|Media|

I am a very fortunate popet when it comes to media. The Greek community have been a huge support, especially the Greek papers and the Greek Australian Cultural League. Here’s the most recently published article in The Greek Herald, published in Greek and English. And look at me as a front-page snippet – it just makes you want to turn the page, doesn’t [...]

Venice Inspired Woodblock Prints and Handmade Greeting Cards

2023-05-28T15:11:29+10:00May 28, 2023|Printmaking|

The print world has seriously become a graphic designer’s oyster.

Soula Mantalvanos Celebrates the Beauty of Venice

2023-03-17T15:01:36+11:00March 17, 2023|Exhibition|

Q: What were some of the foundation ideas for this exhibition project? A: If I had to use one word, it would be ‘place’. And the relationship with it; what it means when you’re in it, how it impacts you when you’re away from it, what resonates after you’ve visited or lived in it. Perhaps it’s also respecting a place – I absolutely love Venice. But maybe also, I’m simply doing the artist thing; travelling, documenting, and communicating because that is a beautiful thing to do.

My Happy 50th

2024-08-15T11:30:10+10:00December 28, 2020|Me|

(Written 1 year later!) I had an absolutely glorious 50th. With all the social media outlets, I neglected writing a post about my special occasion on my own website. With this freshen up of the website, it is an optimum excuse to create the post now. This event is a significant one – not just because I marked my 50 years of [...]
