Eleni Maragaki is a visual artist based in London and a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors. She studied Painting in the Athens School of Fine Arts (2013-2018) and MA Fine Art in Central Saint Martins, UAL (2020-2022), as a recipient of the Mona Hatoum Bursaries Award. She has taken part in numerous exhibitions including a screening in LUX Moving Image (London), a group show in the Art Station Dubulti (Latvia) and the Shijiazhuang Youth Art Biennale in Hebei (China). In 2023, she was the winner of the TATE Christmas Card Competition, the Muse Gallery Residency Award and a finalist for the First Plinth: Public Art Award. One of her latest projects was a public commission for a light installation by Stavros Niarchos Foundation. In September 2023 she participated in a one-month residency at Mahler & LeWitt Studios, in Spoleto, Italy. She is selected for the Wells Art Contemporary exhibition for August 2024. Her practice is focused on bridging the dichotomy between urban construction and the natural environment, as for Eleni, architecture is in constant dialogue with the landscape. As a response to the densely manufactured urban space, she is inspired by the delicacy found in the system of natural structures.
