Welcome to My World of Dreamscapes!
Hi, I’m Popi! I’m so glad you’re here. My art is all about freedom, curiosity, and exploration—an invitation to journey beyond the ordinary and connect with something deeper. Each piece I create is guided by intuition, colour, and movement, reflecting transformation, emotion, and limitless possibility.
I believe art has the power to inspire and awaken something within us, whether you’re an artist yourself or simply someone who loves to get lost in beautiful, meaningful work. I’d love for you to explore my collection and see what speaks to you.
Feel free to reach out—whether you have a question, want to collaborate, or are interested in a piece, I’d love to connect!

"Jervis Bay is a hidden gem within her subconscious.
A rare tide washes the bioluminescence to the shore, and if you are lucky, you can find it there in the dark of the moonlit night.
Little spots of glowing bright blue dance along the shoreline and inspire myths and magic.
She surrenders.
Heart open.
My friend Tina and I heard that the bioluminescent algae was on the shores of Vincentia in Jervis Bay. We raced out of her friend's house where we were staying to try to get a glimpse of this magical sight. Sadly, we didn't catch it that night but will not give up the dream!" - Popi Iatrou
In 'Inner Phosphorescence,' the woman swims peacefully beneath the clear blue water, her body intertwined with the stillness of the green lily stems. As her heart is drawn towards the surface, the bioluminescent glow of Jervis Bay’s rare tide is transposed over her, creating a magical and otherworldly aura. The glowing blue light symbolizes hidden beauty and the quiet mysteries that exist beneath the surface, both in nature and within the depths of the soul. Popi Iatrou captures this serene moment of introspection and wonder, inviting you to discover the inner magic that lies just beyond the veil of the visible world.

✨ 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.

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

"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!"
