Daphne Anastassiou Mustakis is a Visual Artist and Psychologist. She was born in Viña del Mar, Chile, in a Greek family with strong ties to the arts.

She attended College in both England and Greece, and in 1980 she received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Her work is related to transpersonal, positive and integral psychology.

Forty years of professional experience and personal exploration position Anastassiou as a visionary and forerunner within the field of coaching and management consulting, areas through which she has contributed to the development of human potential and an expansion of consciousness. She is an interdisciplinary and transformative artist with a body of work that speaks to both intellect and intuition.

In the year 2000 she published the book We Are Love; the techniques and methods that circulated though the publication itself and the related workshops have invited diverse groups of people to break free of limiting ideas as to be able to trust one’s own creativity and enjoy life to its fullest. Some of her well-known workshops are Creativity, Leadership, Empowerment and Emotional Intelligence. The methods and techniques are based on a holistic perspective, hypnosis and teach notions such as conscious breathing, creativity, the experiential, dynamics in movement, play, humor and love.

Anastassiou has been tied to the arts since her childhood, and in 1991 she began to paint. Since 2006, aiming at understanding human nature has been the drive behind her pictorial work. In 2009 she put on Agapi, her first solo show in Santiago, Chile. From 2014 up-to-date she has been working on large scale sculptures, that can be understood as an expansion of her pictorial body of work.

Anastassiou has exhibited her work in cities such as London, Paris, New York, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Dubai, Italy, El Cairo and Athens. Her work is in private collections in several countries.

The sculptures have been placed in Teatro del Lago Frutillar, Casas de Lo Matta, CV Gallery (outside), Chilean Old Cars Museum, Cultural Centre Gabriela Mistral (GAM), Major University, El Claustro Campus and Conservatory of Music. Together with El Tranque Cultural Centre, we have placed the sculptures in Civic Centre, Portal La Dehesa and DIDECO in Lo Barnechea.

She currently lives in Santiago, Chile and takes part of the directory of the Gabriel and Mary Mustakis Foundation. She also directs the Agapi Foundation. Since 2011 she has been represented by the Colette Dubois Gallery in Paris, France. Anastassiou’s work is currently focused on both painting and sculpture.
