BIOGRAPHY
Konstantina Krikzoni is a Greek, London-based artist. She hold an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art. She studied painting at the School of Visual and Fine Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2015); and mathematics (2010). She has been awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS (2021).
Konstantina works primarily with oil on canvas, watercolor on paper and mixed media and explores themes of childhood, memory, feminism, trauma and sexuality. Her work is intuitive and responsive, a domain where bodily touch becomes an embroidered second skin engaging with a visceral form of visual storytelling, and tactility forms a visual language where painting, embroidery and symbolism coalesce and women reign.
