BPP: Who are you?
And who you really are?
Xanthi Argiridi: Hello! My
name is Xanthi, I’m a 29 year old English Language teacher and I live in
Larissa, Greece. I spend my free time breathing life into dreams and fairy
tales through the creation of one-of-a-kind art dolls.

BPP: If you could say something important to others
who were listening, what would you tell them?

by your dreams. Don’t let others dictate which path you should follow in life.

BPP: How is life currently for the people in your
country and what would you wish for them and for the planet at large?
Xanthi Argiridi: My country
is going through very hard times at the moment. I want το believe that something
good will eventually come out of this ordeal; it’s time greek people realised
this is a big opportunity to make a step forward.
What I wish
for every person on our planet is to have the opportunity to live life to the
fullest and experience everything they deserve and more.

BPP: If you had a chance to be a child again would you
choose the same life?
Xanthi Argiridi: I would
definitely not change a single thing. Right or wrong, the path I have followed
since I was born has defined who I really am.

BPP: What was
the exact moment that you realized what you wanted to do with your life? How did you feel at this very moment?
Xanthi Argiridi: I’ve been
involved with art since I was a little girl, but as far as art dolls are
concerned I started my journey five years ago. I cannot imagine myself not
creating, it feels as if someone has sucked the life out of me. I believe each
person has a destiny to fulfill; I was destined to be an artist.

BPP: Would you like to tell us something we didn’t ask
until now?
Xanthi Argiridi: I’d
actually like to say something to a person who holds a special place in my
heart, my husband, Yannis: Thank you so much for the constant support and
encouragement, they give me the strength to carry on and live my dream!
