Mariana Evmolpidou STATEMENT Collage, drawing and appropriation of found images are the techniques that Mariana uses in her artworks. She collects anything that comes to her attention and intrigues her imagination. She re-establishes the identity of already-made objects through their re-use, re-arrangement and fragmentation. Through her work, she attempts to examine the dematerialization of the human existence with images of repetitive uneven human figures. Her mixed media creations embody the human imperfection. She emphasizes the necessity of the magazines’ beauty deconstruction and misconception by disfiguring her human characters. BIO Mariana Evmolpidou was born in Athens. After graduating from Vakalo Fine Arts University in Greece, she moved to the United Kingdom in 2005 to complete an MA in Illustration & Graphics at the University of Creative Arts in Kent. Between 2006 and 2008 she lived in London, working as a freelance illustrator on various projects and as a resident graphic designer at Dorling Kindersley of the Penguin Group. She exhibited her work in various group exhibitions in galleries and art spaces. Mariana currently lives and works in Athens, Greece. ARTIST CONTACT [click to email] IMAGES
