Athena Petra Tasiopoulos: Inner Spaces
at Abington Art Center in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, USA
2 May–9 June 2025
Athena Petra Tasiopoulos is a mixed media collage artist, who explores mental and emotional blueprints, the push and pull of interconnectedness, and the delicate nature of equilibrium through her encaustic collage works. Tasiopoulos works with recycled and found vintage papers, encasing them beneath a layer of encaustic, also known as beeswax.

Her artistic practice acts as a form of meditation on transience, transformation, and the beauty of imperfection, gravitating toward soft and muted color tones. The repetitive patterns and primitive marks she carves and scrapes into the surface of the wax speak to the imperfections of the human hand and the vulnerability of materiality.
