Eleftheria Pilali

My name is Eleftheria. I was born in Athens, but I have lived in Bulgaria since I was little. I am a law student, combining my studies with work, an internship, and the development of my own online store for Italian makeup and cosmetics (essentially.bg). In my free time, I create content — photos and videos. I love creating artistic makeup looks, decorating my home, traveling, and spending peaceful time in nature, without a plan or direction. An interesting fact about me is that despite all the years in which I’ve tried many different hobbies (drawing, piano, pop and jazz singing, choir singing, sports and folk dancing), I still feel nervous singing alone in front of people. And although it might not seem that way (because of my Leo rising), I am actually quite shy when meeting new people.

For me, singing in a choir is energy — an energy that fills me even after the busiest day. The sense of togetherness and the charge I get from singing in such a group cannot be compared to any other hobby I’ve had. I have been singing since the 6th grade — first in the “Detska Kitka” choir for about 9 years, and after a break of around two years without singing, I started again with “oTEPETO.” During those two years, without exaggeration, I felt empty, without direction, and I relied heavily on other people to bring me the energy that only the choir had ever given me — which did not affect me or my loved ones well. Now, I feel whole again.
