Aggeliki Dimitriadou
Aggeliki Dimitriadou is a Greek visual artist whose work explores the balance between emotion and structure. Known for her tactile approach to abstraction, she builds her compositions through overlapping forms, subtle textures, and atmospheric color fields. Her artistic practice revolves around the idea of “layers”—both literal and symbolic—creating visual worlds that feel simultaneously intimate and expansive, rooted in a deep sensitivity to material and space.
In Dimitriadou’s work, layering becomes both a visual language and a philosophical inquiry. She does not treat the surface as a final destination, but as a threshold—an interface through which the viewer is invited to sense what lies beneath. Defined by the interplay between opacity and revelation, her practice involves deliberate acts of covering, exposing, and reworking. Each piece functions as an archival space, preserving traces of decision, intuition, and absence. These sedimented gestures form records of transformation, where micro-movements, lost shapes, and emerging structures coexist.
Drawing inspiration from architecture, textile traditions, and the shifting rhythms of nature, Dimitriadou constructs environments that blend depth with a quiet, contemplative aesthetic. Her works resist quick interpretation; instead, they reward prolonged observation, allowing their internal logic to slowly unfold. In doing so, they challenge clarity as a conclusion, proposing instead that ambiguity offers fertile ground for meaning.
Her practice bridges painting and weaving, exploring how color, texture, and layered forms translate across both mediums. Dimitriadou’s work is defined by a profound interest in materiality and the tactile language of surfaces, combining painterly abstraction with textile sensibilities. Many of her paintings begin as studies of rhythm, gesture, andchromatic depth—investigations that extend naturally into her textile work.
Through a meticulous process of building, erasing, and reconstructing surfaces, Dimitriadou creates compositions that act as visual palimpsests, carrying traces of memory, intuition, and transformation. Her work reflects an ongoing inquiry into the ways personal and collective narratives accumulate over time, inviting viewers to engage with their hidden depth. Ultimately, her artworks serve not as statements but as open invitations—spaces where time gathers, dissolves, and reshapes itself, leaving room for each viewer’s own narrative to enter and unfold.
