It was a great joy, when Iraklis Lampadariou, took on
the e-book edition of the four colorful tales: “A Tale in Red”, “A Tale in
Yellow”, “A Tale in Orange”, “A Tale in White” which we have created along with
Kostas Stoforos in an unorthodox but magical way. And that is because, the
tales were being created while Kostas was writing inspired by my drawings and I
kept drawing inspired by his words.
I specifically love these tales and I am really happy
that Iraklis is giving the chance to all those who wish to read them for free.
My joy got even greater when “A Tale in Red” and “A Tale in Yellow” got
translated into English and are now traveling around the world with Saita
Publications. The e-book of the tale “The Boy, the Girl and the Very Tiny
Reality” came up later and its translation got started immediately. I got
surprised by the velocity the tales got processed, translated and released on
the internet from the moment I was asked about it. The tales are nicely edited,
made with passion and love matching with my sense of aesthetics and it is a
piece of cake for everyone to download and enjoy them. I feel honored that such
a worthy man with ethics and knowledge gave the tales I loved the chance to fly
free around the world. Thank you Saita Publications!

Stefania Veldemiri is
a conservator of Archaeological Findings and Works of Art and works at
our country’s museums (Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki ,Byzantine Museum
of Thessaloniki, Archaeological Institute, Natural History Museum in Heraklion,
Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest) and abroad (University
of Missuri-St. Louis, Smisthonian Institution, American Museum of Natural
History), both for the conservation of archaeological findings and works of art,
and for making copies and casts of fossils and art objects to report on them. Moreover,
she works as a conservator in situ, during the seasons and periods of study in
the program of the University
of Missuri-St. Louis
Since becoming a mother in 2002, all she ever wanted
was to find a simple and playful way to pass down her love for art and objects of
daily use to her children. So she started working as an artist in day schools and
teaching children the history of art through interactive activities, games, experiential
exercises, and audiovisual stimuli giving priority to smile and cheerful but disciplined
atmosphere.
The past years she has been dealing with the illustration
of children's fairy tales and painting and has assets of five solo exhibitions where
images accompanied stories written by Kostas Stoforos, while the children had
active role in the action and the story.
In her studio, she often hosts small children, who play and learn through art depending
on their mood.
She loves the contact with the children’s world and feels happy when kids allow
her to enter it. So after the course as an artist she feels joyful.
