Konstantina Krikzoni
Biography
Born in Greece in 1987 and based in London, Konstantina’s work blends classical technique with mystical narratives and sensual textures. Her charcoal-rich paintings evoke dark fairy tales and ancient my ths. She holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art and a dual degree in Mathematics and Fine Art from Aristotle University. Her paintings are tactile and emotionally charged, often exploring bodily metamorphosis through techniques such as staining, embroidery, and the use of organic materials like brined flowers. These methods evoke themes of decay, healing, and transformation, imbuing her work with both sensuality and a ghostly presence. Krikzoni challenges objectification by portraying the female body not as a fixed image, but as a space of agency, fluidity, and poetic intensity.
