Bio

Stella Kyriakou was born in Melbourne, Australia.  Stella studied and dealt with many forms of art. She expressed her artistic concerns from a very early age by studying classical ballet for about 10 years. Afterwards, she attended courses in scenography and costume designing at the “Theater of Changes”. She completed her studies in the field of silvermithing next to the experienced craftswoman Vasso Flokas and engaged in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry.  Stella’s passion for the discovery of new materials and techniques led her to sculpture and ceramics and to wider visual art applications, where she studied alongside the experienced ceramist Matilda Malandraki. Her works have been presented in fashion shows and numerous solo and group exhibitions.  Today she is exclusively engaged in the design and production of art installations. Stella is an IAPMA member as of 2023 (International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists).
