She studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts as a pupil of Pavlos Mathiopoulos, Umbertos Argyros and Constantine Parthenis. During her studies she received an award for portrait painting. She taught at the American College for Boys in Athens and presented her work in one-woman shows and group exhibitions. In 1969 she was awarded the medal of the City of Paris for her participation at the exhibition organized by the Floralies de Paris at the Salon International de Peinture and in 1973 with the medal of the Municipality of Athens.
he wok Roses is a vase of roses, rendered in pastel, which is her favourite theme, for which she received international awards. Having abandoned the classical rendering of flower painting, Mitsea-Malamou creates her personal space and by the way to placing the flowers in it, she gives each flower personal substance and reality. The pastel technique with the light material and the sensitive colour, makes this work tender an dreamlike.
