Vasia
Greek born Vasia began exploring art’s basic concepts and its functional exploration through her studies, beginning with oil and mixed media painting before evolving into installation art with her ‘Coloured Space’ series. Influenced by Arte Povera and figures like Michelangelo, she has broadened her expertise to include digital works that challenge the traditional link between artist and artwork identity. Focused on the concept of ‘space’ for its boundless interpretive interaction, her portfolio and thesis exhibition showcase a commitment to exploring art’s essence. She has exhibited throughout Greece, notably in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Florina and the Pocket Gallery in Athens. Vasia completed her Master of Fine Art (MFA) at Arts University Plymouth in 2024.
