Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Athene Galiciadis studied Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL). Galiciadis’ works are characterized by her typical color palette and repertoire of forms, many of which are geometric and organic in nature, echoing concrete art and its precursor, Constructivism. She assembles her works from various materials and develops her own formal language that invokes associations with tradition, craft, and design. Patterns, models, theories, science, and spirituality are all themes that Galiciadis uses as tools in her work. Galiciadis paints her works by hand and concerning the volume of each piece, compares the act of painting with the embrace of a body.
