Leeds, UK. Kiki holds a BA in Graphic Design from Staffordshire University, UK,
a BA/MFA in Fine Art from Athens School of Fine Arts, Greece, and an MA in Fine
Art from University of Leeds, UK. Kiki’s early works focused on the way social relations
and power structures contribute to the experience of personal trauma. As her
work progressed, the “traumatized” individual became, not simply a passive
receiver of their facticity, but at the same time, the perpetuator of the conditions
of their unfreedom. Her works are characterized by the subtle use of humor and
irony which aim to employ a critique that has a self-critical edge, aware of
its shortcomings. For Kiki, this is especially important for sustaining critique
today, and for contemporary art in general. She has been taking part in group exhibitions since
2016. Website and social
