Natassa Nikoletou
The Artist
Natassa began her creative exploration in painting and sculpture in the year 1987 in Athens, Greece. Despite having started her education with the famous sculptor Gripari, she considers herself an autodidact. Self-taught, she continuously reinvents and perfects her style and artistic method. Her sculptures are usually crafted from aluminum and bronze, often blending these materials into her paintings, creating dynamic and multidimensional works.
Natassa has participated in group and individual exhibitions in Greece and abroad. Some of her notable solo exhibitions include: "Short Journey", Nafplio (2008), “Vehicle Love", Athens (2010), "Brightness Dark", Acropolis area, Athens (2018). Her work, both paintings and sculptures, is featured in private collections throughout Greece and internationally, underscoring her broad appeal and the universal resonance of her art.
In 2018, she moved from Athens' historic Acropolis area, where years before she had already opened an independent art gallery, to the island of Santorini. Here, she creates, curates, and exhibits her own works but also presents an amazing selection of works from other famous Greek artists, thus encouraging a lively, fertile artistic community.
Natassa remains an exceptionally influential figure within the contemporary Greek art scene, with all sorts of variegated materials combined in innovative ways and her dedication to both tradition and modernity.
