Maria Bintzilaiou or Seeker, was born in Greece, Athens in 1997 and is currently a student at the University of Fine Arts in Ioannina in Greece in an attempt to combine the comics she so loves with the “something” of the painting element.
Having discovered her love for comics and more specifically manga at the age of junior high school, Maria who liked drawing, mermaids, dinosaurs and mythology, vowed to one day turn her stories into comics. The nickname Seeker emerged from her never ending quest of perfecting both skill and art style – or so she says.
In April of 2022 she printed the first volume of her first self-published work titled as “Priers, Manifesting” and in May 2023 followed the second volume of the series “Priers, Aggravated”and is aiming on self publishing more volumes and creating more comics and zines.
So far she has attended the ComicDom Athens Convention 2022 and 2023, the ComicCon Thessaloniki Convention 2022 and 2023, the AthensCon 2022 and will be attending AthensCon 2023 in early December.
She is currently working as a part time junior artist and in the near future she would be interested in working as a concept artist in the field of tabletop roleplay games like World of Darkness which she loves very much and which hasn’t ceased to be a source of inspiration for her.
