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 at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the same university(2010). She is a recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2020) and of a NEON Organisation for Culture and Development scholarship (2020/21, 2021/22), while she has been shortlisted for a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship (2021). She has been awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS (2021). Her work has been exhibited in London (The ceiling with a tranquil eye, Cork St Galleries, 2021), in Entrevaux, France (Les danses nocturnes, curated by East Contemporary Gallery, Spread Museum Entrevaux, 2021), in Berlin (ELF – Schaufenster Gallery, 2020; L’artiste et les commissaires, Lage Egal Gallery, 2019; and All out, KWADRAT Gallery, 2019) and in Athens (2020 Rooms, Kappatos Gallery). 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.
