About
Clelia Valmont
I was born in Belgium, a small wind-swept monarchy dotted with medieval cathedrals and bearing a dark colonial past. My complex personality developed from my intertwined family heritage. My father had Russian roots and I am somehow imbued with the strength of the beautiful but sometimes brutal Russian nature. My childhood was also affected by my mother’s Greek origins. All of these influences would later play out their part in my life.
Sarcastic, always competitive, an epicurean... A paradox. If life isn’t exhilarating, it isn’t worth living. Aged 18, I travelled alone in the US for a year. A fire burned in my heart and mind. My passionate temper and my sense of honor made me feel closer to my Eastern roots. After graduating from college, the rhythms of the Southern Balkans lured me back to Greece. Thus, taken by the Greek charm, I will live in Thessaloniki (Northern Greece) most of my adult life.
