Alkistis Mavrokefalou (born in Athens, 1993) lives and works in Athens, Greece. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts (2014) from the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford and her Master of Fine Arts (2017) from the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA). Her work is centred on the coexistence of frailty and durability observed in organic shreds found in nature (such as flower petals, exoskeletons, etc) and on the elliptical, illusory presence of these fragments within their surroundings. Her practice is an effort to communicate their elusive, elliptical essence through structures that play with the perception of depth and surface. She has taken part in several group shows, including, more recently: Matrix Akashic Fields Forever, Hydra School Projects (Greece, 2020); Coffins of Black, Coffins of Luck, Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Center (Athens, 2019); Kypselian Salon, Snehta Gallery and Residency (Athens, 2019); The shell, Space18 (Thessaloniki, 2019); An Earthly Matter, Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Center (Athens, 2018); Rooms18, Kappatos Gallery (Athens, 2018).
