Konstantina Krikzoni (b. 1987, Chalkidiki, Greece) is a London-based artist whose practice explores the intersections of mythology, memory and the female form.
With an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (UK) and a background in both fine arts and mathematics from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Krikzoni approaches art through a unique, analytical yet deeply intuitive lens. Her work reimagines classical iconography, challenging traditional representations of femininity, identity and power.
Blurring the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, Krikzoni’s paintings and sculptural installations incorporate oil, watercolor, textiles and rubber. Her organic forms evoke bodily transformation, vulnerability and sensuality, often engaging with themes of trauma, sexuality and desire. Through techniques such as staining, pouring and glazing - alongside the use of unconventional materials like flowers soaked in brine - her work embodies a dynamic tension between creation and decay.
Krikzoni’s practice is rooted in performance, tactility and visual storytelling. Collage and embroidery become symbols of memory and healing, while latex works act as second skins, exploring the porousness between self and other. Her compositions, rich with fragmented figures and fluid shapes, reclaim the female body from objectification, instead positioning it as a site of transformation, ambiguity and agency.
Recent exhibitions include Victoria Miro Gallery , Venice, IT (2025) ; Victoria Miro Projects, Online (solo, 2024) ; Malta Biennale, MT, (2024) ; Frieze No.9 Cork Street, London, UK (2023), Swivel Gallery, NYC x Paris, USA & FR (2023), Palazzo Monti, Brescia, IT (2023) ; Newchild Gallery, Antwerp, BE (solo, 2023); Cork Street Galleries and Royal College of Art, London, UK (2021). Her work is in the collection of the Yageo Foundation, Taipei, Taiwan, and the Xiao Museum of Contemporary Art, Rizhao, China.
Krikzoni has received several notable awards, including the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2020), the NEON Foundation for Culture and Development scholarship (2021/22), and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS (2021). She was also been shortlisted for the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship (2021) and the Chadwell Award, London (2022).
