Irini Bachlitzanaki
b. 1984, Greece
Inspired by material culture, artisanal traditions, nature and the biographies of objects, Irini Bachlitzanaki builds upon re-contextualising recognisable forms to examine our relationship with the world around us and ourselves. Within a practice that is primarily sculptural she plays with two and three-dimensionality and explores the object as image, signifier and continuation of the body and the self.
Irini Bachlitzanaki was born in 1984 in Athens, Greece. She studied History of Art at UCL, University of London and Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts and, most recently, at the Royal Academy Schools, graduating in 2021. She lives and works between London and Athens.
