Konstantina Krikzoni (b. 1987, Chalkidiki, Greece) lives and works in London. She holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London.
Her painting practice blends ancient storytelling with contemporary sensibilities, centering on elusive female figures that evoke mythological and archetypal references such as nymphs and sirens. These figures are grounded in a more primal, embodied logic, engaging the archetype of the “Wise Mother” and broader ideas surrounding feminine knowledge, nature, and memory. Her work consistently returns to the female body as a site where figuration and abstraction intersect, where forms become fractured and fluid, embedded within layered surfaces of paint. The line in her work operates not as a boundary but as a disruption—dissolving, reappearing, and shaping a field of emotional and poetic tension.
Krikzoni has exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions, including Jarvis Art (New York, USA, 2026, solo); L’Appartement Gallery (Geneva, Switzerland, 2026, solo); Jarvis Art (New York, USA, 2026, group), curated by Max Werner; Victoria Miro Projects (London, United Kingdom, 2024, solo); Frieze No.9 Cork Street (London, United Kingdom, 2023, two-person); and Newchild Gallery (Antwerp, Belgium, 2023, solo). She undertook a residency at Palazzo Monti (Brescia, Italy) in 2023, which culminated in the exhibition Shipping Address, and participated in the Philippe and Marion Lambert Residency (Crete, Greece) in 2024. Her distinctions include the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship (ARTWORKS, 2021) and the NEON Scholarship (2020–22). Her work is held in private and institutional collections including the Yageo Foundation (Taipei, Taiwan) and the Xiao Museum of Contemporary Art (Rizhao, China).
