Katerina Chatzikosti

Katerina Chatzikosti is a visual artist based in London and Athens, whose artistic journey has been profoundly influenced by her deep appreciation for everyday experiences, literature, poetry, and cinema. Graduating from the Athens School of Fine Arts with a specialisation in sculpture and Information Experience Design in the RCA, Katerina's work is multidisciplinary and embraces a wide range of mediums, including sketching, sculpture, sound, photography, and the utilisation of microcontrollers and programming.

With a keen focus on themes of space, memory, time, poetry, and the complexities of the human condition, Katerina creates thought-provoking artworks. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings and the power of storytelling, she incorporates symbolism and visual narratives into her pieces. By doing so, she invites viewers to embark on introspective journeys akin to being on a train, meandering through time and making stops at different stations.

Katerina's dedication to her craft has garnered recognition, including the Artworks Fellowship awarded to her by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation in 2022. Her participation in a diverse range of exhibitions throughout Greece has allowed her to engage with audiences from various backgrounds, fostering meaningful conversations and connections.

Through her practice, Katerina endeavors to evoke emotions. She believes that art is an open process with the power to hold multiple meanings, capable of transforming and evolving, reflecting itself uniquely on individuals.

As viewers interact with her works, they are invited to delve into their own personal narratives, contemplating the intersections of time, space, and the human journey.





Personal Picture for Statement

In my practice, I utilise impressions of the everyday, multiple materials, sound, microcontrollers and programming, as well as sketch, photography and sculpture to create poetry and visual expression. I am deeply motivated about the concept of time and space and how we, as humans, interact with those two concepts in our everyday life. My artistic approach is more instinctive - I believe in sharing stories, perspectives, memories, and emotions using a universally present language that can be felt and is intertwined with our surroundings. Through a ritualistic approach, I combine materials and techniques, in an alchemical way, unveiling the "magic" and the unique narratives they hold. I craft ethereal spaces that reflect the poetic landscapes bridging our inner and external worlds, making this hidden inner space visible.

"the within, all that inner space one never sees, caverns where thought and feeling dance their sabbath."

- Samuel Beckett

This painting is a composition of everyday moments intertwined to create a unique language and associations.
Imagine Time as Spatial ElementThis painting is a composition of everyday moments (pictures and sketch) intertwined to create a unique language and associations. Its synthesis resembles a "dance of time", guiding you along diverse paths that lead to various destinations. The painting serves as a map for my final project/installation. Positioned in front of the painting, the installation will seamlessly continue its flow through interactive objects, sound, light, movement and elements such as air, water and commonplace materials.
