✨ Collector Highlight: Julie Kennedy
Julie Kennedy was my most cherished collector in 2024, and I’m deeply grateful for her generous heart and ongoing support. A kind and loving neighbour, Julie not only collected my work — she shared it. She gifted paintings to her grandchildren, spreading joy and colour into their lives, and also commissioned a deeply meaningful portrait in honour of a beloved family friend who passed away.
Reflecting on the piece, Julie shared:
“The artistry of Popi proved beyond expectations when I commissioned her to paint a portrait from a photo of a neighbour and dear friend who had passed away. Popi captured the very essence of Carol’s ethereal beauty with her art skills and insight, producing a truly remarkable work of art. Thanks Popi! 🙏❤️”
Julie’s presence and trust remind me why I do what I do — to create from the heart, for the heart.
Equine Blue Original Canvas Painting
Mixed media with oil on canvas
"Two Earthly beings immerse their weary bodies into the cleansing blue depths of the ocean. Together they explore other worlds and play in the dancing sun rays that outstretches radiant fingers of light to show the way.
When my dad asked my sister and I what we would like to do on his weekends with us we would always chime together, horse riding! I used to try to sketch horses repeatedly as a child, and I am so drawn to them even now. I feel like I have to paint them, it's like a craving." - Popi Iatrou
In 'Equine Blue,' Popi Iatrou beautifully captures the deep connection between woman and horse, as they journey together through the tranquil depths of the ocean. Their bodies move gracefully through the water, exploring a serene underwater realm illuminated by the dancing rays of the sun. The woman, adorned in a flowing gown, reaches toward the radiant light, symbolizing hope, freedom, and the unspoken bond between two earthly beings. The gentle blue-green hues evoke a sense of calm and renewal, inviting you to dive into this world of wonder, where both spirit and soul are cleansed by nature’s embrace.

**SOLD** Inner Vision Original Canvas Painting
Mixed media with oil on canvas
"This metallic acrylic pour series is finished with oil paint. Depicting a close-up glimpse into femininity in its vulnerability, beauty and power. She is water, earth, fire and air in perfect proportions.
There is something about eyes that I love. Could it be my mother's eyes that complete strangers commented on and that she artfully enhanced with black kohl?" - Popi Iatrou
This striking piece from Popi Iatrou's metallic acrylic pour series captures the essence of femininity in all its raw, untamed glory. The bold red, black, and white figures emerge from the swirling metallic backdrop, embodying the primal forces of water, earth, fire, and air. With each fluid line and powerful stroke, the painting speaks to the complex beauty of the feminine spirit—at once fragile and fierce, nurturing yet unyielding. The juxtaposition of soft and strong elements invites the viewer to contemplate the harmonious balance within themselves, reflecting the infinite depth and strength found in every woman.

Collector review
I recently purchased a stunning piece of art “Poppy’s Dream” by Popi Iatrou, and I am absolutely in love with it. The mix of textures adds incredible depth, making the artwork feel both dynamic and alive. The colors are beautifully rich, bringing a sense of calm and elegance to the piece while also giving me a wonderful sense of freedom. I love it so much and I couldn't be happier with my purchase 😍
Thank you Popi for your incredible art work 🥰

Collector review
“The incomparable Popi Iatrou has always possessed an extraordinary gift for art, but witnessing her evolution from hobbyist to professional artist has been nothing short of breathtaking. With an insatiable passion for all forms of artistic expression, she poured her heart into every brushstroke, and I was instantly drawn to her talent. When I entrusted her with a deeply personal request—to recreate a cherished memory of my best friend and me walking through the enchanting corridors of Barrio Gótico in Barcelona—she delivered a masterpiece.What was once just a photograph was reborn on canvas, bursting with life and intricate detail. The narrow, historic corridors, rich with centuries of stories, seemed to breathe again through her work, transporting me back to that magical place. It was in that moment I knew—Popi wasn’t just an artist; she was a visionary storyteller through fine art.Encouraging her to delve deeper into the world of fine arts has been a privilege, and watching her talent flourish has been awe-inspiring. Popi, you don’t just paint—you translate passion, nostalgia, and beauty into something truly timeless. Bravo! Your work is simply magnificent!” Tina Cunningham

Collector review
"Sitting for Popi as a live model was an unforgettable experience. Watching her creative process unfold was fascinating, and the final piece captured so much more than just my likeness—it reflected my energy, my essence, and even the core ideas of Venus Yoga that I hold dear. Pop’s ability to bring out these deeper layers in her art is truly remarkable and her point of different as an artist.
Beyond her incredible talent, Popi’s dedication to both her art and her career as a psychologist has deeply inspired me to embrace my own creativity. Her artwork now hangs in my massage clinic, and every time I walk in and sit in the wall, I feel an immediate connection to my true self. It reminds me to stay authentic, to keep creating, and to honor my own artistic path. After years of setting my creative dreams aside, I am now making music, working on my own oracle deck (which Popi will illustrate), making lifestyle videos, and fully stepping into my artistic flow.
This portrait is more than just art—it’s a mirror to my soul, a reminder of my purpose, and a constant source of inspiration. Thank you Popi and I hope all reading this commission you for their own Popi art too!"
