Some of her works have been acquired by the Athens National Gallery, the Vorres Museum, Museum of Monte Carlo, Museum of Modern Art in Seoul, Korea, and the Dreyfus collection. Currently she is working on a sculptural installation which will stand in a central public square in Athens. She is a pictorial, figurative artist. Her pictorial representations seek the balance between pursuit of impermanence and passion for perpetuity. With the human figure pivotal in her work, Vordonis’ paintings are textured through use of Plexiglas and a harmonic weaving of other medium materials such as crystalline paper.
