Angeliki Charalampopoulou
multidisciplinary contemporary artist
Who is Angeliki?
Angeliki Charalampopoulou is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist based in Nicosia, Cyprus. Working across painting, photography, and mixed media, she approaches art as a way of thinking—an ongoing process of inquiry rather than a fixed outcome.
Her artistic engagement began through essay writing and poetry, closely connected to philosophy, a practice that continues to inform her work. Text and image often coexist in her process, with written fragments initiating or accompanying visual works, forming a dialogue between language and form.
Painting forms the core of her practice. Her work develops through recurring questions related to identity, presence, and meaning, explored through semi-abstract figuration, chiaroscuro, and a strong emphasis on materiality and texture. Existentialism and the acceptance of the absurd inform her approach as a lived stance rather than a theoretical framework.
She holds a degree in International Relations and a Master’s degree in Business Administration, which have shaped her understanding of structures and their interrelations, from small organizations to large systems such as states and corporations, and the position of the individual within them.
Influenced early on by her mother’s practice with natural and repurposed materials, and with music occupying a central role in her daily life, her work remains open and evolving across themes and media. She began working systematically with painting in 2021, enrolled at the Aigaia School of Art and Design in 2022, and since late 2024 has been pursuing a Diploma in Visual Arts.
