Since 2019 she works almost exclusively as an illustrator and muralist. She has some beautiful collaborations with foundations, festivals, companies and press. She works in analog and digital ways. Either way her colors are bold and eccentric, colors that have their origins into carnival as it is celebrated for ages in the city she was born. Her visual language is spoken through a child’s eyes. Her themes are about daydreaming and reminiscing. She starts by depicting a memory and she discovers the way this memory is connected to the present. Her art aims to relax the viewer, soothe, reward and eve acquit. Her influences are a combination of the cartoons of the ‘70s-’80s and the flickering lines of Schiele or the “imperfectly” sculptures of Giacometti that by their nature allow vulnerability and transform it into power.
She makes art for the child we all have inside us, she makes art because that’s all she knows, she makes art for Santa Claus who may exist. For the power of our fragile nature that can become the driving force of today.

Leonie Yagdjoglou
Leonie Yagdjoglou was born in Athens/Greece.
Leonie studied Graphic Design at the Vakalo Art and Design College in Athens (1988-91) and Communication Design at the prestigious Art Center College Of Design (Europe) in Montreux, Switzerland, graduating with the Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her first professional steps took Leonie to Cologne, Germany (1994-1999) where she participated in founding Milk Design GmbH, a creative agency that soon became very successful with attracting a number of distinguished clients.
In 1999, Leonie returned to Greece and repeated her recipe for success by co-founding MILK Branding Professionals Ltd. Since then Leonie has been partner, creative director and co-owner of MILK, a leading branding agency in Greece for 20 years (www.milk.com.gr), and has handled in this capacity hundreds of accounts of local and international companies.
Inescapably, Leonie grows – professionally through excelling in design projects and artistically by ceaselessly expressing herself through ceramic art, sketches and painting.
For her sketches, Leonie has developed her own, unique drawing technique which involves, among others, using the tip of her finger as a brush. By performing a series of bold strokes on the tablet screen for instance, she transforms flashes of thought and memory into witty black and white sketches. More recently she has been using a similar technique to combine contrast-full colours to create figures out of everyday life. The initial 2014 series of sketches was named “MEMORABILITY” and was shown, very successfully, in the TOGETHERE 4 exhibition in the prestigious Mykonos Municipal Gallery (July 2014). In July 2017 she held her first solo Exhibition in Mykonos (Mykonos Municipal Gallery) with the title “My self as a room” mainly with Prints and ceramic objects for everyday use.
For the last ten years Leonie finds herself feeling more and more a devotee of the ceramic art, as it combines the two basic elements of her artistic ways of expression: design and painting.
Ιn her own atelier ( www.leonieart.gr ), she has been giving life to hand-thrown and hand-painted usually bright-coloured ceramic objects, each of them being different than any other. Her ceramics convey a similar message; artefacts of the same aesthetic that fill space with instances of existence.
Leonie carries on by utilizing the old techniques while exploring the new, thus creating art with a mark of her own. Literally.
Leonie speaks English, German and Greek.
